He said: “The state executive council is extremely reluctant to ordinarily adopt this kind of situation but I must tell you that tonight we are very constrained and have no options whatsoever at our disposal to refuse this presentation.
“This is more so when it is indeed coming from the very ward where Barrister Julius Abure originates.
“We therefore find no iota of evidence that has the capacity to prohibit us from agreeing to ratify the suspension.
“On behalf of the state executive committee, we have the suspension ratified.
“Please take notice that you have been suspended from the membership of Ward 3, Arue, Uromi, Esan North-East Local Government, Edo State.
“This decision was reached after a rigorous deliberation by members of the ward in consideration of your high-handedness, anti-party activities in the administration of the party and other myriads of allegations of fraud leveled against you which are currently under investigation.”
