The party also accused the suspended officials of alleged financial inducement aimed at weakening the party in the state.
A statement in Lokoja by the APC State Secretary, Joshua Onoja on Sunday, said the suspended officials were being investigated by the party.
Onoja explained that their suspension and dissolution was sequel to disturbing reports of alleged gross violation of the constitution of the party by ward and local government executives of the party.

He described as “very unfortunate” and “worrisome” that those officials, who ordinarily should be custodians of the sanctity of party’s constitution, were found wanting.
“Allegations of anti-party activities and financial inducement to weaken the party have been established against these executives of the party now under very serious investigations.
“This is why the entire executives of the party in Igalamela/Odolu local government area from the wards to the local government level stand dissolved.”
