The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the alleged suspension of its chairman in Imo State, Engr. Charles Ugwu.
The party declared Ugwu’s said suspension as null and void and of no effect, saying it is not consistent with laid down Rules and the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017).
National publicity secretary of PDP, Hon Debo Ologunagba said “The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to the purported suspension of the Chairman of the Imo State Chapter of our Party, Engr. Charles Ugwu.
“The NWC at its 579th meeting on Wednesday, December 6, 2023 declared the said suspension as null and void and of no effect, not being consistent with laid down Rules and the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017)
“The NWC therefore charges all leaders, critical stakeholders, members and teeming supporters of our Party in Imo State to be guided accordingly.
“The NWC enjoins all Party members in Imo State to remain united and continue to work together in the overall interest of our Party.”
In a related development, the NWC of PDP also approved the nomination of new officers to fill vacant positions in the Kwara State Executive of the Party.
The new Kwara State Chapter officers are: Hon. Idris Mudashiru Kenken – State Deputy Chairman; Mr. Abdulrahman Abdullahi Kayode – State Secretary; Princess (Hon.) Ramat Segilola Abdulkadir – State Woman Leader; and Mr. Olusegun Olusola Samuel – State Publicity Secretary.
Ologunagba said “The NWC also received copies of two separate letters of apology by the suspended Kwara State Youth Leader, Prince Haliru Dantsoho Mahmud addressed to the Acting National Chairman and the Kwara State Chairman respectively. The NWC, after consideration of the letters of apology, approved the reinstatement of the Youth Leader from suspension.
The NWC urges all leaders, critical stakeholders and members of our Party in Kwara State to remain united and continue to uphold the values of the PDP as a democratic Party.”
