The Kogi State Chapter of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has suspended its state secretary, Arome Okeme for indiscipline and insubordination.
The party has also replaced the suspended secretary with Musa David Chubiyojo after an emergency State Executive Council meeting held yesterday in Lokoja attended by about forty members.
The party in a press conference addressed by the State Party Chairman, Muktar Atima, said the suspension of the Secretary followed his continued disobedience to party rules and regulations.
Similarly, the party said the absence of the Secretary from the country to Guinea Bissau for over a year has negatively affected the smooth running of the party, creating a huge lacuna.
The party equally frowned at the abuse and incessant castigation of the party and its leadership in the media by the suspended Secretary, described his actions as capable of bringing the party to disrepute, consequently necessitating his suspension.
The Kogi State chapter at the press conference pledged their unalloyed support to the leadership of Dr Ishaq Abdul Ahmed and Engr. Simon Adeshina as National Chairman and General Secretary respectively.
The SDP in the state passed a confidence vote on the leadership of Alh. Muktar Atima lauded the support and the action of the state Chairman to the National Leadership who they disclosed has added immense value to the party in the state.
The Party also commended the Chairman for Supporting the new national leadership of the party, described the decision as one that is capable of putting the party in good stead ahead of the 2023 general elections.
