The Edo Central Vice Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Hon Fidelis Odiase and Patrick Alikali, a leader in the party have been suspended indefinitely for anti-Party activities by the Edo State Chairman, Mr Fred Uwangue, after a long meeting with the state leaders of the Party.

In a letter signed by the State secretary of the Party, Mr F Okodolor and made available to the Press, the erring leaders were suspended for “Anti-Party activities, insubordination and actions capable of bringing the Party into disrepute among others”

It should be noted that the suspended leaders of the Party, who were alleged to have been campaigning for the opposition on online platforms, have been at the centre of a purported declaration of support for the opposition by the Edo Centre arm of the Party, recently.

This, according to the chairman, threatened to cause disaffection within the party but thanks to the timely intervention of the state Party Exco.
