All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Fubara Dagogo has been suspended indefinitely by the party following allegations of gross misconduct and anti-party activities.
The suspension was issued by the Ward 4 executive committee in Bonny Local Government Area, Rivers State.
Dagogo had earlier approached the Federal High Court in Abuja to halt the party’s planned convention, claiming he was unfairly excluded from contesting for the position of National Vice-Chairman, Southsouth.
He alleged that after paying N5.1 million for the nomination form, the party refused to issue it.
Dagogo also demanded N100 million in damages for wrongful exclusion.
The Ward 4 APC Chairman, Richard Ibani, said the suspension was approved at a committee meeting on March 16 and signed by all 21 members of the executive committee, including Secretary Donald Jumbo.
Dagogo was accused of breaching the APC constitution, engaging in anti-party activities, making statements that could embarrass the party, flouting party rules, and demeaning party leaders within and outside the state. The committee cited violations of Article 21.2 (I), (II), and (VII) of the 2022 APC Constitution (as amended).
The committee emphasized that members had been repeatedly warned against actions capable of ridiculing the party, but Dagogo’s recent conduct showed disregard for party rules.
“Your suspension is with immediate effect,” the committee stated, urging the state secretariat to enforce the resolution.
