The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has suspended Gamawa Babayo, its deputy national chairman (north).
Kola Ologbondiyan, the party
spokesman, announced this in a statement on Monday night.
He said the party’s national
working committee (NWC) suspended Babayo over allegations of derelection of
duty and anti-party activities.
“The National Working Committee
(NWC), in its extra-ordinary session of the 5th of January 2019, among other
things, critically reviewed the petition against the Deputy National Chairman
(North) Senator Gamawa Babayo,” the statement read.
“The NWC found merit in the
petition on allegation of dereliction of duty and anti-party activity as
contained in Section 58 (1) e, f, g, h of the PDP Constitution.
“Therefore, in exercise of
section 29 (2) a, b and c, the NWC hereby invokes Section 59 (1) d of the
constitution of the PDP on the Deputy National Chairman (North) and accordingly
suspends him from the party immediately.”
The suspension comes little over
a month to the presidential election scheduled to hold on February 16.
The suspension could be a setback
to the party’s performance in the north as its candidate as well as that of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) President Muhammadu Buhari come from the
region.
