Ugwu’s suspension, according to the statement, followed a motion moved by the PDP Chairman of Ohaji Egbema Local Government Area and Chairman of all the PDP Chairmen in the state, Emeka Alihe, which was seconded by the PDP Chairman of Owerri Municipal, Godspower Apollos and adopted by no fewer than 18 other LG chairmen as well as members of the State Executive Committee.
