PDP lifts suspension on Oke, Elumelu, Others

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lifted the suspension placed on seven of its members in the House of Representatives.

PDP said this in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, on Thursday in Abuja.

Ologbondiyan named the seven lawmakers to include Hon Wole Oke; Hon. Ndudi Elumelu; Hon.  Lynda Ikpeazu; Hon. Anayo Edwin; Hon.  Gideon Gwani; Hon. Toby Okechukwu and Hon. Adekoya Addul-majid.

He said that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party lifted the suspension based on the recommendations of various committees constituted on issues relating to their suspension.

The party charges the lawmakers to be loyal to the party and obey its directives in line with its constitution and vision of its founding fathers.

In the same vein, the party maintains that it continues to recognize the PDP Caucus of the House of Representatives as led by Hon. Kingsley Chinda and charged all members elected on the platform of the party to continue to participate in the activities of the Caucus.

The PDP urges the lawmakers to ensure a stronger and more viable opposition that speaks with one voice in the legislative house.

Furthermore, the party directs the Harmonization Committee led by Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal to further meet with our members in the House of Representatives with a view to ensuring harmonious relationship among them.

PDP had in July 2019 suspended the seven lawmakers for anti-party activities, particularly their roles in the selection of the Minority Leadership in the House.
