- The national secretariat of the Young Progressive Party, YPP, says it has observed with great displeasure the lingering leadership crisis in the Abia State chapter of the party.
- Recall that Mr Uluocha Nelccin Chimezuo was recently suspended as the YPP State Chairman in Abia State for accepting to work as the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Umuahia North LGA Chairman, Victor Ikeji
The Young Progressive Party’s (YPP) national secretariat reports that it is extremely disappointed with the ongoing leadership crisis that the party’s Abia State chapter is experiencing.
It suggested that, while awaiting the conclusion of the current intervention, the pre-crisis state of affairs be preserved.
The YPP claimed in a statement signed by Egbeola Wale Martins, the National Publicity Secretary, that Mr. Uluocha Nelccin Chiemezuo, the embattled State Chairman, who was suspended by the SWC last week, remained the official Chairman of the Abia State chapter.
It advised Uzodinma Nwoko, who was recently appointed as the acting Chairman by the SWC, to stop parading himself.
The party vowed to take ‘extreme measures’ against concerned stakeholders if they continued to ignore YPP national body’s cautions.
“The Young Progressives Party is not a lawless political party and we condemn in strong terms the current leadership crisis rocking the party in the State as the National leadership will not hesitate to take extreme measures to restore sanity if persistent cautions are ignored by concerned stakeholders”, the statement said.
