PRESS RELEASE
The All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to inform its members and the general public that Hon. Valentine Asuen has been suspended from the Party in accordance with the provisions of the APC Constitution 2022, as amended.
This disciplinary action became necessary following his conduct, which runs contrary to the spirit of unity, loyalty, and collective progress enshrined in our constitution. His actions have been deemed to amount to inciting division within the Party, thereby undermining the cohesion and discipline expected of every member.
In line with Article 21:2 (ii) & (v) of the Party Constitution 2022, as amended, such conduct constitutes a violation of the obligations of a member. Furthermore, as clearly stipulated in Article 21:5 (a), (c), (d), (e), (f) & (h), these infractions are punishable offences, warranting disciplinary measures including suspension.
The APC remains committed to internal democracy, discipline, and the protection of its integrity. No act capable of destabilizing the Party or inciting disaffection amongst members will be condoned.
Let it be clearly stated that all appointments made thus far by His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Monday Okpebholo, have been evenly distributed across the state, including Oredo Local Government Area, without any undue influence from the Party’s Secretary, Engr. Lawrence Okah.
The Party urges all members to remain steadfast, united, and focused on the collective vision of the APC, as we continue to work towards delivering good governance and democratic dividends to the people.
Signed:
Barr. Peter Uwadiae-Igbinigie
State Publicity Secretary,
All Progressives Congress (APC), Edo State Chapter.
