Nwoye said: “The result forging scheme was executed by Eugene Odoh, Flavour Eze, Ada Ogbu and El- Aja, and we must say no to this undemocratic conduct.”
“As a country and state, we must say no to these antics and undemocratic acts by some people who do not wish our great party well. We must let them know that power belongs to the people.”

Some members of the party, while reacting to the suspension at a hotel in Enugu, said Nwoye has been suspended, insisting that the members involved in their suspension have no powers to convene SEC meeting in the first instance.
Nwoye in his reaction to their statement described the suspended members as impostors.
“I will not respond to them because they are impostors. I just concluded a meeting with the real SEC members at the party office.”
The former speaker, Odoh, in his reaction said, “Nwoye is our former Chairman. He was suspended by over 40 members of SEC this morning and as such couldn’t have had the power or the required number to suspend anyone.”
