Quashing the suspension order was sequel to a report of the committee headed by Senator Domingo Obende, which investigated the allegations of anti-party activities levelled against Osagie and 30 other members of the party from the local government.

It was learned that the committee in its report noted that the allegations of anti-party activities against the suspended persons were not proved by Mr. Charles Idahosa and his group and therefore, cannot hold.

The committee also noted that the suspension order did not follow the constitutional procedure for disciplining erring party members.

The committee recommended that those who were suspended have not been treated fairly and that the state government should find a way to compensate them particularly with some appointments.
