THE Peoples Democratic Party – PDP, has reversed the suspension of some leaders of the party, including former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim and former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose.
Others whose suspensions were lifted by the National Working Committee – NWC, on Thursday are: Ibrahim Shema, former Governor of Katsina State, Prof. Dennis Ityavyar (Benue State) and Dr. Aslam Aliyu (Zamfara State).
The NWC also reversed the referral of the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom to the National Disciplinary Committee by the Dr Iyorchia Ayu led NWC.
According to the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba: “NWC recognized the imperativeness of a total reconciliation among Party leaders and critical stakeholders for a more cohesive Party in the overall interest of our teeming members and Nigerians in general.”
Ologunagba noted that the decision of the leadership 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).
“The NWC charges all leaders, critical stakeholders and teeming members of our Party across the country 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 our Party at this critical time.
“The PDP must remain focused as we continue to take every necessary action to recover the stolen mandate freely given by Nigerians to our Party and Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday February 25, 2023, at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.”
