The suspended Ebonyi Labour Party Chairman, Mr. Sabastine Obyia yesterday declared that his suspension by the State Executive Council of the party (SEC) was unlawful, saying that only the national body has the right to suspend him. Obyia, while reacting to his suspension yesterday said those who claimed he has been suspended from the party were not members of the Labour Party but those recruited by the governorship candidate of the party in the last general election, Chief Edward Nkwegu.
He had earlier accused the party’s gubernatorial candidate for congratulating and the PDP candidate Chief Dave Umahi in public before turning around to challenge his victory in the court, stating that such an act was an embarrassment to the party. He stated that the national leadership of the party through the Legal Adviser had resolved to write-off the name of the party from the petition filed by various candidates that ran under the party in the last general election including that of the governorship candidate, Chief Edward Nkwegu on discovery that they had joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
