The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended four top national officers following a court ruling that stopped the party’s planned national convention.
Those affected include the National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu; National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN); Deputy Legal Adviser, Okechukwu Osuoha; and National Organising Secretary, Umaru Bature.
The PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, announced their suspension after an emergency NWC meeting held on Saturday at the party’s Legacy House office in Maitama, Abuja.
According to Ologunagba, the decision was taken in line with the provisions of the PDP constitution.
He said the affected officials have been suspended for one month and referred to the party’s Disciplinary Committee for further action.
The suspensions come amid heightened tension within the opposition party following conflicting court judgments over its forthcoming national convention.
