A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Chief William Nwanguma, has demanded stiff sanctions against the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkiruka Onyejeocha, over alleged anti-party activities following her public endorsement of the re-election bid of Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, who is a member of the Labour Party (LP).
Nwanguma who made the call in a petition to the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, said Onyejeocha committed the act on February 28, during a state road flag-off event in Umunneochi Local Government Area, which is the minister’s local council.
In the petition submitted on Tuesday, Nwanguma said Onyejeocha openly urged traditional rulers and residents of the Umunneochi community to support Governor Otti for a second term.
