APC nullifies ex-NDDC director Ojougboh's expulsion

El-Marzuq stated that aside from failing to bring the matter to the notice of APC National Executive Committee, the action was inappropriate because the crucial element of fair hearing was not given to him to justify the resolution to expel him.

The statement read, “I have gone through the resolution of the Chairman of Ika South Local Government Area approving the expulsion of Ojougboh from the party. And it is my observation from the documents availed to the party that there was no evidence that the crucial element of fair hearing was afforded to Ojougboh to justify the resolution to expel him.”

El- Marzuq further affirmed that by the provision of Article 21 of the party’s Constitution, the right to discipline its members was subject to their inalienable right to fair hearing. “Without evidence of compliance with the basic procedure of disciplining a member of the party as envisaged in Article 21 of our party’s Constitution. The expulsion of Ojougboh from the party would be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

“Secondly, it is important to mention that the punishment of expulsion meted out to Ojougboh by the chairman can only be confirmed and ratified by the party’s National Executive Committee. Therefore, the resolution to expel Ojougboh is null and void and of no effect whatsoever occasioned by the failure of the Executives of Ika South Local Government Area,” he said.All rights reserved.
