Drama as Fayose declared PDP national Chairman; Atiku, Wike, others suspended

News Update

Isaac Fayose, the brother of former Ekiti governor, Ayo Fayose, has declared himself the new National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Isaac went further to announce the suspension of some top members from the two factions of the party, such as Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Nyesom Wike, Ayo Fayose, Seyi Makinde, and other G5 members.

He added that anyone who feels agitated by his decision should challenge it in the court.

“It’s official, now I’m the new national Chairman of the PDP. The current [Acting] National Chairman, Mr Damagum, has been suspended and I’ve asked the security at Wadata House to keep the key with the Secretariat.

“If you’re not happy, please, we don’t want you to come to the secretariat to make trouble. You can go to court. And the NWC, some of you have been suspended, drop all the PDP stuff with you at the security at Wandata. The former G5 has been suspended. Wike has been suspended.

“Fayose has been suspended. Governor Seyi Makinde has been suspended. All the people doing anti-party have been suspended. Atiku too has been suspended because his ambition is giving us headache,” he declared.

VAM News reported earlier that a faction of the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, had suspended Damagum and the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.

The factional NWC also suspended the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba and the National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade.

However, the Abuja Federal High Court restrained the National Executive Committee (NEC) and PDP’s Board of Trustees (BoT) from removing Damagum as the party’s Acting National Chairman.

The court ordered that no other person must be recognized as PDP national chairman other than Damagum until the national convention of the party scheduled for December next year.
