Ms. Agom-Eze was Governor David Umahi’s main challenger for the Ebonyi South senatorial ticket of the APC ahead of the 2023 polls.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abakaliki on Sunday by the party chairman in the state, Stanley Okoro-Emegha.
Ms. Agom-Eze was Governor David Umahi’s main challenger for the Ebonyi South senatorial ticket of the APC ahead of the 2023 polls. INEC recognized her as the party’s candidate after the winner of the party’s primary election, Austine Umahi, who is the governor’s brother withdrew from the race.
On July 22, a Federal High Court in Abakaliki, however, ordered a rerun of the senatorial primary election.
After the court judgment, APC conducted a fresh primary election on July 31 where Governor Umahi emerged the winner.
Mr. Okoro-Emegha stated on Sunday that Ms. Agom-Eze rebelliously jeopardized her membership by violating APC’s Constitution, which prohibits any act of dishonesty capable of disparaging the party or its member(s).
He added that Ms. Agom-Eze was initially expelled by the ward executives of APC in her Umudomi Ward in the Onicha Local Government Area of the state.
The chairman of APC, Ebonyi South Zone, Mr.Ernest Nwazi through a motion, expelled Agom-Eze from the party citing rebellious and unruly behavior.
The chairman stated also that she fundamentally violated some sections of the party’s Constitution,’’ he stated.
Agomoh-Eze has recklessly disparaged herself by eating back her words to paymasters.
Since her expulsion started from her ward, I cannot interfere with the decision because politics is a grassroots engagement.
We are well schooled in her antics as she is being bankrolled by the opposition party,’’ he added.
Mr. Okoro-Emegha stated also that the APC would convincingly deliver all its candidates including Mr. Umahi at the 2023 general elections.
The APC Ebonyi South zonal meeting which took place at Afikpo North Local Government Area headquarters witnessed a massive turnout of the party faithful.
They came from additional four council areas of Afikpo North, Ivo, Ohaozara, and Onitsha,’’ Mr. Okoro-Emegha stressed.
