The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC) has been using the heavy stick to discipline certain party members for suspected anti-party conduct.
There was also an announcement that the Ekiti State Executive Committee would be dissolved and a caretaker committee would be formed to manage party operations in the interim.
The PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, made the announcement in a statement released late Friday in Abuja.
According to Ologunagba, “after a very lengthy examination and analysis of the affairs of our party across the country, according to the terms of the PDP Constitution (as modified in 2017), we have recommended the suspension of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu State) and Chief Chris Ogbu (Imo State) with effect from today, Friday, January 20, 2023,” due to charges of anti-party activity.
In a similar vein, the National Working Committee (NWC) has authorized the suspension of the below-listed party members in Ekiti State, also effective as of today, January 20, 2023, due to charges of anti-party activity.
A statement from the PDP reads, “The PDP asks all leaders, crucial stakeholders, and teeming members of our Party throughout the country to stay unified and focused on the goal of our Party to rescue, rebuild, and redirect our nation from misrule.”
In a separate statement, Ologunagba added, “Following the recent happenings in the Ekiti State Chapter of our great party, the NWC, after careful considerations and extensive discussions, on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC), and according to Sections 29(2)(b) and 31(2)(e) of the Constitution of the PDP (as modified in 2017), has dissolved the PDP Ekiti State Executive Committee with immediate effect.”
Effective today, January 20, 2023, and in accordance with Section 24(2) of the PDP Constitution, the National Working Committee, on behalf of the National Executive Committee, has approved the appointment of the Ekiti State Caretaker Committee to run the affairs of the Party in the state for a period of three (3) months (as amended in 2017).
Arch. Sadiq Obanoyen has been appointed Chairman of the PDP Ekiti State Caretaker Committee, and this nomination has been ratified by the NWC.
All leaders, crucial stakeholders, and the many members of our party in Ekiti State are urged by the PDP to “be together and focused on the mission ahead.”
