Barely a month after losing in the 2023 presidential poll, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday suspended former governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose; former president of the Senate, Pius Anyim; Prof Dennis Ityavyar and Aslam Aliyu.
The decision was taken after an extensive review of the affairs of the party, pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).
Similarly, the PDP also referred the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, to the National Disciplinary Committee over his reported involvement in anti-party activities.
This is contained in a statement signed Thursday by Debo Ologunagba, the party’s National Publicity Secretary.
