The South East Zonal Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress on Tuesday confirmed the suspension of Mrs Ginika Tor by the Enugu State Chapter of the party.
Tor, a Federal Commissioner representing Enugu State at the Federal Character Commission, was suspended over alleged serious misconduct, anti-party actions, and efforts to establish a separate leadership of the party in the state.
However, following the Zonal Executive Committee meeting of the party in Enugu on Tuesday, the zonal leadership of the party reviewed the report of the Enugu State chapter's suspension of Tor and approved it.
A statement signed by the National Vice Chairman, APC South East, Dr Ijeomah Arodiogbu, mentioned that the zonal executive committee has approved the suspension of the commissioner from the party.
According to the statement, Tor had allegedly participated in anti-party actions on March 10, 2024, and made public statements intended to discredit, criticize, and publicly shame the leadership of APC Enugu and the Enugu State Executive.
“She also formed a rival State Executive Committee in APC Enugu state, which goes against Section 21:2 of the 2022 Constitution of the All Progressives Congress as amended.
“The South East Zonal Executive of the APC hereby approves the suspension of Mrs Ginika Tor from the All Progressives Congress.”
The PUNCH reports that the decision to endorse the suspension of the federal character commissioner was sent to Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, National Chairman of APC; Sen Hope Uzodinma, the governor of Imo State and leader of APC South-East; Chief Emma Eneukwu, APC Deputy National Chairman, South; and Chief Uche Nnaji, Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology.
