APC expels Senator Ita Enang for ‘indulgence with PDP’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled Senator Ita Enang, former special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on national assembly matters over his relationship with members of the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and disobedience of party activities.

A letter by Hon. (Obong) Stephen Leo Ntukekpo, APC, Akwa Ibom State, addressed to the Ward Chairman of the party in Eastern Ward 2, Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area, said Enang’s sack has been rectified by the state working committee of the party.

According to the letter, the rectification followed a petition against Enang over anti party activities and disobedience party directives.

“The State Working Committee (SWC) of the party has received a copy of the above letter addressed to Senator Ita Solomon Enang in respect of his anti-party activities and disobedience to the lawful directives of the party,” the letter reads in part.

“The anti-party activities among others include his indulgence with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Akwa Ibom State and his willful but unlawful disobedience of the directives of our great party, the APC.

“After a free and fair gubernatorial primary election conducted by the party which he lost without showing good spirit of sportsmanship, Senator Ita Solomon Enang had engaged in an endless litigation against the candidate who won and the party. In the process, fully doing the bidding of the PDP to put a clog in the wheel of our progress as a party. The clandestine meetings he holds with the opposition party, the PDP and after such meetings, drumming support for them, are not without notice by his vigilant ward and chapter officers of our great party.

“Consequently, I write on behalf of the State Working Committee (SWC) to ratify the decision of the disciplinary committee of the All Progressives Congress; that, Senator Ita Solomon Enang, be and is hereby expelled from the All Progressives Congress.
