Former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara Set To Face Disciplinary Committee

Former Senate President, Senator Adolphus Wabara will likely face a disciplinary committee created by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in Abia State to explain some statements credited to him recently as per media.

According to the Vice Chairman and acting Publicity Secretary of Abia PDP, Abraham Amah, who said the committee will be inaugurated after the party’s State Working Committee (SWC) meeting.

He made this known in Umuahia, the capital of the state in a live programme on Flo 94.9 FM, said that Wabara, presently the acting chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), must use the occasion to apologise to the party for making statements that could bring ‘collateral damage’ to the reputation of PDP.

Amah, who said that the former Senate President was at liberty to make personal statements on governance in the state and the country at large, however, stated that such expression should not bring any harm to the party.

“In a few days’ time, the State Working Committee is meeting; in that meeting, we are setting up a disciplinary committee. He has to face the disciplinary committee,” Amah vowed.

He further promised that Wabara could only be forgiven by the party if he apologised to the disciplinary committee for his alleged unguarded utterances.

According to him, The former Senate President’s claim that he was misquoted by the media does not absolve him of responsibility in the eyes of the Abia PDP. He must appear before the disciplinary committee to explain his actions and offer a formal apology.

Abia PDP recently issued a statement in which it denied the former Senate President’s alleged endorsement of Governor Alex Otti for a second term in office.On the Abia State government’s recent directive that the Lokpanta Cattle Market in Umuchieze, Umunnochi LGA, should operate as a daily market, Abraham Amah commended Governor Alex Otti for taking the step. He, however, added that the past PDP administration of Okezie Ikpeazu should also be acknowledged for bringing up the daily market template.
