Anti-Party Activities: PDP Suspends Fayose, Anyim & Others, Refers Ortom To Disciplinary Committee

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose over alleged anti-party activities.

The PDP NWC also suspended the former Senate President and former Secretary to Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim, and others, Prof Dennis Ityavyar and Aslam Aliyu for anti-party activities.

The PDP NWC further referred Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State to the National Disciplinary Committee over reported involvement in anti-party activities.

The suspension of the above-mentioned members of the party was contained in a statement signed by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba on Thursday.

Debo said the decision was arrived after an extensive review of the affairs of the party, pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017), which clearly states the consequences of such actions.

“The PDP urges all leaders, critical stakeholders and teeming members of the party across the country to remain peaceful, united and focused at this critical time,” the statement added.
