PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY, PDP REVERSES SUSPENSION OF FAYOSE, ANYIM, OTHERS.
The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has reversed its suspension of former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose; and former Senate President, Pius Anyim. Other party chieftains whose suspension were reversed also are Ibrahim Shema, Dennis Ityavyar and Aslam Aliyu. The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in statement on Thursday also said the party’s National Working Committee reversed the referral of the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom to the National Disciplinary Committee.
The PDP, Nigeria’s main opposition party, had a week ago suspended the party stalwarts over anti-party activities, even as the party continues to grapple with a myriad of internal issues that led to the suspension and consequent replacement of Iyorchia Ayu with Umar Damagum as the national chairman. It will be recalled that before the February 25 presidential election weeks ago, Fayose, Ortom, Anyim and others campaigned for other presidential candidates other than the party’s flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar.
