The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), has suspended its chairman in Imo State, Mr. Victor Diala, over misconduct and abuse of office.

Mr. Diala’s position will be occupied by Kingsley Nwahiri pending the conclusion of investigation by the committee, according to the NWC in a statement it issued on Sunday.

The statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Egbeola Wale-Martins added that the NWC has reinstated Chief Bernard Uzoeto, the Orsu Local Government Area chairman who was initially suspended.

“Sequel to the NWC’s actions of Saturday, September 9 and consequent on extended deliberations the NWC approved the immediate suspension of the Imo chairman of the YPP, Mr Victor Diala.

“This is based on the provisions of the YPP’s Constitution on gross misconduct and abuse of office.

“Pending the conclusion of the report of the committee set up to investigate the allegations, Hon. Kingsley Nwahiri has been mandated to take over from the suspended chairman in the interim.

“This is due to the noticeable and unfortunate ailment of the Deputy Chairman, Mr Louise Ugochukwu, to fully discharge the responsibilities associated with this office at this time.

“The NWC also ordered the immediate reinstatement of Bernard Uzoeto, Orsu Local Government YPP Chairman, who was unlawfully suspended.

“His suspension ran contrary to extant provisions of the Constitution of the party,’’ Wale-Martins stated.

The National Publicity Secretary in conclusion noted that the NWC commended the judgment of the court affirming the victory of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah as the democratically elected senator representing Anambra South.
