The sudden suspension has raised concerns within the party, with some of the affected executives expressing surprise over the decision. Awinimi Emmanuel, the constituency’s Communication Officer, confirmed receiving the letter but stated that he was unaware of any wrongdoing.
“When I opened the letter, they said they had suspended me as Communication Officer of the party in the constituency and that the Regional Disciplinary Committee will invite me. I said okay. So I took my letter. That is all I can say,” he told Citi News.
