PDP NWC declares suspension of Ondo state chairman illegal

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has dismissed the purported suspension of its Ondo State chapter Chairman, Fatai Adams.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

This is coming shortly after the State Working Committee declared Adams suspended over anti-party activities, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party said the so-called suspension was illegal and of no effect.

“The NWC declares the said suspension as null and void and of no effect, not being consistent with provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules.

The higher organ of the party said no State Working Committee has the power to suspend a state chairman without due recourse to the NWC as provided by the Constitution of PDP.

“The PDP is an organized political Party governed by strict adherence to the provisions of its Constitution and Rules and will not allow any individual or group at any level to violate its Constitution and Rules.

“The NWC cautions those involved in this illegal act in defiance of the PDP Constitution to retrace their steps as the NWC will not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary or punitive actions to preserve the stability of our Party and the sanctity of our Constitution and Rules”

The NWC emphasised that Adams remained the chairman of the Ondo State Chapter of the PDP.

The party’s higher organ charged all leaders, critical stakeholders, and members to disregard the purported suspension.

The NWC enjoins all Party members in Ondo State to remain united and continue to work together in the overall interest of our Party and the people.
