The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, ward 7, Igbo Eze North LGA, Mr. Nwokedi Ugwoke has been removed from office for alleged anti-party activities.

He has been replaced by Nduka Obeta who has been sworn into office.

Swearing in the new caretaker chairman, the Igbo-Eze Caretaker Committee chairman, Mr. Desmond Ayogu accused the ex-chairman of insubordination and gross disloyalty to the party.

He said the former chairman had been calling illegal local government chapter meetings, purporting himself to be the chairman of the party.
