The party alleged that Ntufam Etta has factionalised the party and created parallel structures in the state which offends the provisions of article 21 (a) (1) (11) and (vi) of the constitution of APC, 2014, as amended and is punishable under article 21 (D) (1) (a) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) and (j) of the same constitution.

 

“His suspension followed due process and came on the heels of complaints of anti-party activities in his ward by a member of his ward Mr Andem Okokon. The ward five executive committees of the party set up a fact-finding committee to hear and determine the complaint.

“Upon the receipt of the report of the fact-finding committee/disciplinary committee, the ward five executive committee ratified the report of the committee and transmitted its decision to the Calabar Municipal Chapter executive committee which also ratified the decision to the state executive committee of our party

“The position of the party has since been communicated to Ntufam Hilliard Etta through correspondence both by the ward and the state structures and we are surprised that Ntufam Hilliard Etta has ignored the party’s position and has carried on, parading himself as the acting National Chairman of our great party with impunity.
