Akpeme’s Suspension Of Delta State NAPPS Exco Is Illegal – Young
The Chairman, National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), Delta State Wing, Deaconess (Mrs.) Young P.N, has said that Dr. Ochuko Akpeme lacks powers to suspend the state executive.
She said this during a phone conversation with Oasis Magazine on Monday night.
Recall that online media reports on Monday quoted Dr. Akpeme declaring the Young-led executive suspended in Asaba during a press conference.
Reacting, Deacon Young, added that he simply wants to remain a life president.
Her words: “He claims to be the South South Vice President and we do not recognize him as so and we have no dealings with him. He just wants to cause confusion. He and other NAPPS members he picked from Asaba who he said her regional executive members are impersonators and we will deal with him and his accomplices legally if he continues in this direction,” saying that the suspension pronounced on them by Akpeme and his cohorts is illegal, null and void.
According to her, just last week, a letter of caution was sent to him warning him to desist from parading himself round the chapters in the state as the Vice President, South South, adding that they also reminded him in the said letter that they were sworn-in with the 2017 constitution and not that of 2023.
She continued: “What he did today is unacceptable. He should look for his loyalists and work with them and not my excos.”

Furthermore, she called on NAPPS members in the state to be calm and resolute, saying that they are on the matter and that there was no cause for alarm.
She said further: “We are not under Akpeme, our NVP is Hon Ekhosuehi Rueben Ikponwwmen Dr. Hajia Samari as our National President. He wants to force Delta NAPPS to join him in his group. He is recruiting young people who are new in the association and have little knowledge about the issues. We did not vote for him as he claims.”
Continuing, she hinted that the state exco has held an online emergency meeting and they have agreed that will remain where they are and that they will not change their minds on not supporting Akpeme.
Meanwhile, she said the state general meeting for Wednesday scheduled to hold in Sapele will still hold, just as she disclosed that he has not been attending their meetings and they are not expecting him, while threatening to arrest him if he shows up at the venue.
