The national working committee (NWC) of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti, over
alleged anti-party activities.
The PDP also suspended Anyim Pius Anyim, former secretary to
the government of the federation, Ibrahim Shema, former governor of Katsina
state, and two others over the same allegation.
The NWC said Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, has been
referred to a disciplinary committee.
Other suspended members are Dennis Ityavyar (Benue) and
Aslam Aliyu (Zamfara).
In a statement issued on Thursday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP
spokesperson, said the decision to refer Ortom to the national disciplinary
committee over his alleged involvement in anti-party activities was taken after
a “very extensive review of the affairs of our party in the country and
pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017)”.
The party’s spokesperson said the suspension of the four members
was with immediate effect.
“The PDP urges all leaders, critical stakeholders, and
teeming members of our party across the country to remain united and focused at
this critical time,” he said.
Fayose’s suspension comes days after he mocked Aminu
Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto, for losing the state to the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the March 18 governorship election.
He had also said anyone planning to “unseat”
President-elect, Bola Tinubu through the court is “daydreaming”.
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, is
challenging Tinubu’s victory in the court.
Anyim had declared support for Francis Nwifuru, APC
governor-elect in Ebonyi, days before the governorship poll in the state.
