CPC – NEC ENFORCES DISCIPLINES ERRANT MEMBERS

PRESS RELEASE

19 May 2011

The Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, hereby brings to the notice of the

Nigerian public the decision of its National Executive Committee to discipline

some erring members, as part of the on-going efforts to re-position the party on

a stronger footing.

The members (from South-South, South-East and South-west zones) that took part

in the infamous press release wherein the decision of the National leadership to

file petition against the conduct and result of the Presidential election was

disparaged are hereby expelled from the Party.

Those affected are depicted in the table below:

NAME STATE REGION

However, GRACEMAN IHEANACHO contended that his name was added by the core renegades without his knowledge. A committee has been set up to authenticate his culpability or otherwise.

Also, in its bid to enforce discipline as lucidly enshrined in the party’s

constitution, the National Executive Committee (NEC) has also decided to place

the following party men on indefinite suspension pending the investigation of

their cases by the empanelled disciplinary committee.

NAME FORMER POSITION STATE REGION

Alhaji Danazumi Gwarzo State Chairman Kano North-West

Alhaji Kasim Chika-Ainu State Chairman Sokoto North-West

Alhaji Mohammed Mustafa State Secretary Sokoto North-West

This is an on-going exercise geared at ensuring total conformance with

entrenched party’s laid down authority.
