The National Working Committee, NWC, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has dismissed the purported suspension of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Party, Senator Adolphus Wabara.
The NWC categorically dismissed the purported suspension, describing it as null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
A statement yesterday by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Hon Debo Ologunagba, described the purported suspension of the BoT Chairman as not being consistent with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules of our great Party.
The PDP therefore condemned the purported suspension of Senator Wabara, calling it “reckless and unconstitutional”.
The party cautioned those behind “this act in defiance of the PDP Constitution” to retrace their steps as the NWC will not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary actions to preserve the stability of our Party and the sanctity of its Constitution.
The statement by Ologunagba reads, “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 Board of Trustees of our great Party, Distinguished Senator Adolphus Wabara from the Party
“The NWC categorically dismisses the purported suspension as null and void and of no effect whatsoever not being consistent with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules of our great Party.
“For emphasis no State Working Committee has the power to suspend or take any disciplinary action against a member of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Party without due recourse to the NWC as clearly provided under Section 57 (7) of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017)”
