I have not received my suspension letter ― DG VON

THE Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu has said he has not gotten a letter of suspension from his party, All Progressives Congress (APC).

Okechukwu while reacting to his purported suspension on Friday said: “If actually a press statement was issued, it may not be unconnected with those who want to sideline their enemies in this season of the contest.

“Remember that Femi Adesina, spokesman for Mr President had opened a window for the gruesome struggle.

The APC Chieftain added that: “One had taken time and resources to campaign vigorously for my great party and even set up the Zikist-Buharist-Movement (ZBM), an offshoot of Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) of which I am a foundation member.

“It is on record that with ZBM we toured the nooks and crannies of Enugu and indeed the South East, canvassing for votes for our great party.

“I am also instrumental to the most consistent adverts placed in several media in the South East, on behalf of our great party.

“Accordingly, one should not be blamed for the triumph of bigotry in Enugu State and South East in general.

“Our Comrade Chairman should not blame me for hoisting some unpopular National Assembly candidates for the APC in our zone. For I am at a loss how one contributed to the failure of his darling candidate, Mrs Juliet Ibekaku Nwagu in Egede, her home town and Udi local government, her primary local council in the five that make up the senatorial district.

“Suffice it to say, that one will give a detailed reply, when I am officially written.”
