The leadership of Etsako East Local government chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has affirmed the suspension of the Governorship candidate of the party in Edo state, Pastor Azemhe Azena.
The letter signed by the Chairman of the Party in the local government, Chief Paul Omo Ogwemoh , the secretary Mr John Obeakhemhe , the assistant youth leader Mr Vice Ogiriga and some ward chairmen was made available to Newsmen in Benin city.
The letter which has the received stamp of the office of the NNPP Chairman, Edo state Chapter said PASTOR AZEMHE AZENA was suspended from the party due to anti party activities as he has publicly endorsed the APC candidate in a well publicized online video in a church programme held in Auchi, Edo state.
The letter said such action has caused the party shame, ridicule and embarrassment.
The letter also said the suspended Governorship candidate has so much disregard for party leaders and members in Etsako East local government area which he said has led to disunity in the party.
Copies of the letter were also made available to the National Chairman of NNPP and South-South Chairman of the party awaiting ratification by the state executive council of the party.
The NNPP Governorship candidate in Edo state , Pastor Azemhe Azena has since refuted the suspension claim and advised members of the public to disregard the notice.
