The Akwa Ibom State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled Ita Enang, a former special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly Matters, over anti-party activities.
The state Working Committee of the party ratified the recommendations of its Disciplinary Committee regarding the expulsion of Enang.
A letter signed by Obong Leo Steven Ntukekpo, the state’s party chairman said the decision to expel the former presidential aide follows a petition detailing gross anti-party activities by Enang written and submitted to the state leadership of the party by his ward chairman in Eastern Ward 2, Ibiono Local Government Area of the state.
The letter also revealed that the former lawmaker had been holding clandestine meetings with the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state with a view to undermining APC’s chances in the general election and had done so in defiance of the directives of the party.
In the aftermath of the state governorship primaries, Enang had enmeshed the candidate, Obong Akan Udofia, in a flurry of litigations at various courts in Abuja and Uyo until recently when the Court of Appeal in a landmark ruling affirmed Udofia as the valid candidate of the party for the March 11th governorship elections in the state.
