Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A 7-man disciplinary committee headed by Goddy Nnorom says it has discovered that a man was allegedly nominated as a Women Leader in the Isuamawu Ward 4 of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Isuikwuato local government area of Abia State.<\/p>\n

The committee also said that an aged woman was also picked as Youth Leader, to the outrage of women and youth members of the party in the Ward 4.<\/p>\n

To this end, the disciplinary committee has recommended the suspension of the members involved in the anomaly and those causing crises in the PDP.<\/p>\n

Citing a recent Supreme Court ruling affirming that party membership is an internal affair of a political party, he said that the disciplinary committee, in line with the 2017 PDP Constitution (as amended), meticulously deliberated on the numerous infractions.<\/p>\n

The party argued that the selections violated natural sequence as there were eligible youths and young women to fill the positions.<\/p>\n

The Goddy Nnorom-led PDP disciplinary committee\u2019s recommendations read in part:<\/p>\n

\u201cRecognition that the so named infractions violated key sections of the 2017 PDP Constitution (as amended), including sections 58(1)-(a)(b)(d)(e)(g)(i).<\/p>\n

\u201cAdoption of the penalty as outlined in Section 59(1)(d) of the 2017 PDP Constitution (as amended) in response to the violations\u201d.<\/p>\n
