The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Olulumo Ward has suspended Mercy Nsor, Chairman of Ikom Local Government Area in Cross River State, for six months over allegations of gross misconduct and anti-party activities. The decision, taken by the Ward Executive Committee following a resolution on April 17, 2026, cited findings from a Fact-Finding/Disciplinary Committee that found Nsor culpable of misconduct violating Article 21 of the APC Constitution. The committee concluded she engaged in actions that included assault and conduct likely to bring the party into disrepute, following multiple petitions and a hearing conducted in line with Section 36(1) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution. The suspension was communicated to Nsor through a letter from the Ikom Chapter of the APC, signed by its Chairman, Matthew Egomo, directing her to refrain from party activities pending the outcome of further investigations. Egomo's letter confirmed receipt of the Olulumo Ward's official communication regarding the suspension. In response, Nsor dismissed the action as illegal and politically motivated, describing it as a "poorly executed political booby trap" long in the making. She claimed to have filed a formal protest with the APC State Working Committee, which has acknowledged the matter for review. Nsor maintained her commitment to the party and reiterated her support for Governor Bassey Otu's People First Agenda.
