Wabara’s Purported Suspension: PDP Group Expels Abia Chairman, Accuses Him of Impersonation

A faction within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), known as the Frontiers for Change and Progress, has expelled Abia State PDP chairman Abraham Amah, accusing him of impersonation. The group also dismissed Amah’s recent suspension of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, calling it a “big joke.”

Speaking in Umuahia on Tuesday, the group’s national coordinator and former ASOPADEC commissioner, Emeka Yellow Ikpegbu, argued that Amah lacks the constitutional authority to suspend Wabara. He insisted that Abia PDP currently has no state executive, claiming a court injunction had halted the congress that brought Amah to power.

Ikpegbu criticized Amah’s decision, stating that only the National Working Committee has the authority to suspend the BoT chairman. He explained that due process requires a petition from Wabara’s ward and a formal invitation before any disciplinary action can be taken.

The group also questioned why party members involved in anti-party activities in Abuja have not faced disciplinary measures. It defended Wabara, stating that as an elder statesman, he had every right to express his views on governance in Abia State.

Earlier on Tuesday, Amah announced Wabara’s suspension, citing alleged anti-party activities, a move that has now sparked internal backlash within the PDP.
