Anambra PDP Suspends PDP Spokesman, Metuh

The Anambra State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction  loyal to Comrade Tony Nwoye has upheld the suspension handed  down by Nnewi Otolo ward 1 of the party’s  national publicity secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh.

But  Metuh  while reacting to the suspension, described it  as a fallacy saying those behind the move are not genuine members of the party.

Rising from its executive meeting held on Wednesday night, the Anambra PDP  said that “after  going through the  weighty allegations laid against Olisa Metuh and finding  them to be heinous and  warranting the suspension, in compliance with the provisions of the PDP constitution hereby ratifies the suspension and forwarding same to  National Working Committee (NWC) of our great  party to ratify same and stop Olisa Metuh from further  parading himself as a  member and officer of our great party pending when he will be subject himself to the party disciplinary committee”.

In a communiqué issued after the meeting, signed by the chairman Prince Ossy Ezenwa, Secretary Hon. Basil Ejidike , Publicity Secretary  Hon. Kenneth Arinze and three other executive members, the party listed  long   list of allegations against Metuh which it said he  must clear himself  of.

It lamented that Metuh who it said has never voted in any election in Anambra state has done incalculable damage to the party and unfortunately, he and his ilk decided to sack themselves from public life.

Metuh, who spoke in a chat with Daily Independent said the plot is a handiwork of the All Progressives Congress (APC) but said he will not dignify his detractors with a response.

“Go and investigate the people who are talking about my suspension. If APC people decide to put something in the press and say thery are suspending me , do you expect me to respond to that?. There are more important things to do than to respond to APC “.

“You think as I am anybody in my village or town will say they are suspending me?  Those people have no names. They are people who are not members of our party. They are people who already move from  Anambra North because the governor is from there”.

“ How do you think the PDP will suspend me. We working with all our national and state assembly members and the PDP in Anambra” he said
