Chinedu Nwoye, the Chief of Protocol and Deputy Chief of Staff to Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo, has been expelled from Soludo Support Group (SSG).
Mr Nwoye was the group’s former national coordinator and convener.
The expulsion followed allegations of highhandedness, usurpation of powers, financial impropriety, misrepresentation and refusal to apologise to the body for misleading statements against the group’s leadership.
The group also abolished the position of convener and replaced it with founder.
The coordinator of the Njikoka/Dunukofia/Aniocha zone, Prof. Ike Morah, who moved the expulsion motion alongside seven other persons during a meeting, described Nwoye’s disposition as a huge embarrassment to the group.
Idemili zonal coordinator, Okolo Ikechukwu, while seconding the motion, said Nwoye tried to usurp the powers of the national coordinator and the BOT by holding clandestine gatherings in an attempt to misinform and mislead the public.
He said: “Nwoye’s expulsion, together with his co-travellers is the only way to rejig and restore sanity to SSG.”
Other members of the group who spoke at the meeting insisted that Nwoye must be expelled and made to refund the entire money following his alleged refusal to account for funds paid through him in the course of the group’s efforts towards the 2021 governorship election.

Following the adoption of the motion and unanimous position of members, the group’s national leadership through its National Coordinator, Chief Arinzechukwu Awogu, said Nwoye stood expelled as well as other affected members.
Speaking after the meeting, the National Youth leader of SSG, Charles Ebulue chided Nwoye over his desperate attempt to resort to the use of police to stop the meeting from holding, wondering the reason behind police deployment in a brothers’ dispute.
He appreciated the Police for their professional disposition, stressing that Nwoye’s desperation would escalate matters.
Reacting to his alleged expulsion, Nwoye dismissed it as a fallacious, malicious and obnoxious tendency orchestrated by a gang of disillusioned and frustrated individuals impersonating SSG members.
He noted: “It is indeed laughable that certain unscrupulous individuals with no integrity whatsoever will concoct all manner of trash and feed the social media.
“When you look at our bylaws, you would discover that the meeting was not properly convened and that shows that they have no locus standi to suspend or expel anyone. The expulsion doesn’t hold water.
“The public has been urged to discountenance the so-called expulsion and those masquerading as leaders of the group remain expelled indefinitely.”
