The National Working Committee, NWC, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared the purported suspension of the Chairman of the Ondo State Chapter of the Party, Mr. Fatai Adams, as null and void and of no effect.
The party said that the suspension is not consistent with provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules.
For emphasis, the PDP, in a statement by its spokesman, Hon Debo Ologunagba, said that no State Working Committee has the power whatsoever to contemplate or suspend a State Chairman without due recourse to the National Working Committee as provided by the Constitution of PDP.
“The PDP is an organized political Party governed by strict adherence to the provisions of its Constitution and Rules and will not allow any individual or group at any level to violate its Constitution and Rules,” the party said.
The NWC cautioned those involved in the illegal act in defiance of the PDP Constitution to retrace their steps as the NWC will not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary or punitive actions to preserve the stability of the Party and the sanctity of its Constitution and Rules.
The NWC stated that Mr. Fatai Adams remains the Chairman of the Ondo State Chapter of the PDP and charges all leaders, critical stakeholders, members and supporters of the Party in Ondo State and the nation to disregard the purported suspension.
The NWC enjoined all Party members in Ondo State to remain united and continue to work together in the overall interest of our Party and the people.
