Abia IPAC alleged ousted exco, Igara responds

By Sam Oditah

Mr Ceekay Igara, the chairman of the allegedly ousted exco has swiftly responded to claims of his retrenchment.

According to reports, a new leadership of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Abia chapter, led by Mr Enwereuzo Ogbonna, has emerged, following the purported sack of the Ceekay Igara-led executive committee (exco).

Igara, however, stated that he remained the chairman of Abia IPAC.

In a statement issued in Umuahia, he stated that the Ogbonna-led group was “made up of all the de-registered political parties in Abia.

“It should be on record that once you are de-registered as a party, you automatically stop being a member of IPAC. If the Supreme Court reinstates their groups as political parties, we will receive them back”.

He advised Ogbonna and his group to approach INEC to re-register them as political parties rather than transfer their anger to the wrong person.

“Accusing me of carrying a trailer-load of rice and money from Abia government as palliative is nonsense.

“They have every right to find out if I received a grain of rice either for IPAC or for any other purpose,” he said.
