YPP expels Anambra lawmaker for backing Soludo
The Young Progressives Party has expelled the lawmaker representing Nnewi North, Nnewi South, and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Peter Uzokwe, over alleged anti-party activities and gross misconduct.
His expulsion was announced on Monday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Martins Egbeola, following an emergency meeting of the National Working Committee at the YPP National Secretariat in Abuja.
The decision came after a viral video surfaced online showing the lawmaker openly declaring support for the All Progressives Grand Alliance and Governor Chukwuma Soludo ahead of the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State.
In the video, Uzokwe could be heard saying, “YPP is not contesting any election. Did you hear me? I am the leader of YPP, and my supporters are here. In my constituency, I have told them to collapse it for His Excellency Chukwuma Soludo.
