APC Expels President Buhari’s Former Aide, Ita Enang Over Anti-Party Activities

The Akwa Ibom chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled Ita Enang, a former aide to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The former lawmaker was expelled over “anti-party activities” following recommendations from eastern ward 2 – Enang’s ward – in Ibiono Ibom LGA of the state.

In a letter dated January 24, the state working committee of the APC led by Stephen Ntukekpo, chairman of the party, ratified the ward’s recommendations expelling him.

The APC said Enang had engaged in endless litigation against the candidacy of Akanimo Udofia and the APC following the ‘free and fair gubernatorial primary election’ that produced the latter.

It reads, “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 a good spirit of sportsmanship, Senator Ita Solomon Enang had engaged in 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.”

KanyiDaily had reported how President Muhammadu Buhari has dropped Ita Enang as his aide on National Assembly Matters (Senate), and replaced him with Omoworare Babajide.
