The Gubernatorial candidate of the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP, in the 2023 general elections in Ebonyi state, Prophet Chris Adol-awam on Wednesday denied the allegation that he was suspended from the Party.
Recall that the leadership of the NNPP of Echiaba ward, in Ebonyi local government area, had allegedly announced the suspension of the governorship candidate, Adol-awam over alleged anti-party activities.
But, Adol-awam, who spoke through the director of media and publicity for NNPP campaign organization, Mr. Victor Uraku while addressing newsmen in Abakaliki,
said the governership candidate was never suspended as claimed by the 'self acclaimed' chairman of Echiaba Ward (Chinedu Ofoke).
He blamed the former chairman of the Party, one Solomon Chukwu who was earlier suspended for embezzlement of over #78 million meant for the party of masterminding the rumour of the suspension.
He said: "The former NNPP State Chairman, Mr. Solomon Chukwu and his indigent cohort are impersonators who falsely claimed to have suspended the gubernatorial candidate from the Party.
"This mischievous and malicious act would have been ignored but we owe the people of Ebonyi State and our teeming supporters the truth behind this lamely woven falsehood.
"The governorship candidate, Prophet Chris Adol-awam was never suspended as claimed by the 'self acclaimed' chairman of Echiaba Ward (Chinedu Ofoke) who is not a member of the NNPP let alone an executive member of the Party.
"For the purpose of clarity, the substantive Chairman of Echiaba Ward as recognized by the National leadership of the NNPP and INEC is Ndubuisi Nweke and Mr. Alex Ominyi as Secretary" he stated.
Adol-awam emphasized that the suspended chairman, Solomon Chukwu was trying to deploy a diversionary tactics to veer attention away from "his apparent administrative ineptitude, anti-party activities and culpable involvement in the misappropriation of over N78 million Naira, a funds meant for the payment of our party agent, and for logistics at the LGA and Ward level in the just concluded general elections" he alleged.
He noted further that the bone of contention began when he (Adol-awam) asked him (Solomon Chukwu) to consequently, give proper account and remit the funds to the appropriate quarters which he (Chukwu) failed to do till date.
According to him: "In his evil plot maneuver his way out of these allegations, decided to spearhead cheap defamatory, baseless and unfounded allegations against him (Adol-awam) who is the gubernatorial candidate of the party in just concluded governorship election in Ebonyi state.
Adol-awam however, urged the general public to ignore the frivolous theatrics of detractors and to note that; "Chukwu had long seized to be a member of the NNPP and would warn any other Party he (Chukwu) wishes to join again in future to be wary of his questionable traits and recognize that he is a walking liability and a cheap mole" he stated.
