The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has suspended Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo from the party "for engaging in anti-party activities.''
.
Notice of the suspension is contained in a communiqué signed by the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh, at the end of the party's National Executive Meeting on Saturday in Abuja.
.
The communique noted that "rising from an emergency NEC meeting in Abuja, APGA unanimously resolved to dissolve the Imo executive committee of the party.
.
"The party's NEC has also resolved to appoint a 21-man caretaker committee to oversee its affairs in Imo until a congress is held.''
.
It regretted that a governor on the platform of APGA could decide to act contrary to the constitution of the party that voted him into power.
.
According to the communiqué, the party had approved electoral guidelines for the Anambra governorship primaries for 2013 and fixed its next sitting for Aug. 31.
