PDP Lifts Suspension of Anyim, Fayose, Shema and Others

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reversed the suspensions of several chieftains, including former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose; former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim; Prof. Dennis Ityavyar, Dr. Aslam Aliyu, and H.E Ibrahim Shema. Additionally, the NWC has also reversed the referral of the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom to the National Disciplinary Committee. This decision was taken after an extensive discussion about the recent developments in the party. Hon. Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the party, stated that this action is without prejudice to the powers of the NWC to take necessary disciplinary action against any member of the Party at any time pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017). He also urged all leaders, critical stakeholders, and members of the party to be guided by the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017) as well as the new spirit and necessity of reconciliation, unity, and harmony in the party. The ultimate goal is to recover the stolen mandate freely given by Nigerians to the PDP and Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday February 25, 2023, at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
