“The State Exco met to review it’s activities and take report from state working committee on the day to day running of our party. The continued intransigence of Mr. Murphy Paul Imasuen and his collaborators, against the party he called his own is unacceptable to the state leadership of the party.”

“The exhibition of alien rascality, dangerous exhumation that has crystalized him as a non party Man is part of why we have resolved to suspend him”

His unyielding unrepentant attitude after reasonable persuasion, gross insorbordination to legally constituted authority of the party inspite of unparalleled resilience deployed by the party, especially at the state level, the leadership of the party have become considerably constrained to co- inhibit further with these characters in the same confine and resolve that Mr. Paul Imasuen, Mr. Ikouyemwen Ehiwe, Mr. Jegese Idemudia and Captain Oronsaye Augustine are thereby suspended from the party indefinitely “.

It would be recalled that Mr. Paul Imasuen was a contestant in the last general election under Labour Party for Ohrionwom Uhumwonde Federal Constituency.
