The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the purported suspension of the Chairman of the Ondo State Chapter of the Party, Mr. Fatai Adams.

In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary,  Debo Ologunagba, the party said that the NWC had declared the said suspension as null and void and of no effect.

 “For emphasis, no state working committee has the power whatsoever to contemplate or suspend a state chairman without due recourse to the NWC as provided by the Constitution of PDP,” the party said.

He said that the PDP was an organised 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 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 Adams remains the chairman of the Ondo state chapter of the PDP and charged 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 the party and the people.
