The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended four of its members for their alleged involvement in anti-party activities.
They are former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim; former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose; the Benue State Commissioner for Education, Professor Dennis Ityavyar; and Dr Aslam Aliyu Kaura, a chieftain of the party in Zamfara State.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, who announced the suspension in a statement on Thursday, said Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, was referred to a disciplinary committee for related infraction.
Ologunagba said the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) suspended the chieftains pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended), adding, however, that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, was excluded from the disciplinary action.
Wike had been accused of working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to defeat PDP’s Atiku Abubakar in the February 25 election.
But ahead of the election, the Rivers Governor approached the Federal High Court, Abuja, to obtain an order restraining the PDP from suspending or expelling him from the party.
