Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Iyorchia Ayu has been suspended by the party.<\/p>\n

The suspension of Ayu was effected by the Ward Executive of the party in Igyorov Ward of Gboko Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue state.<\/p>\n

Addressing the media Sunday, on behalf of Kashi Philip, the Ward Chairman, the Ward Secretary Mr. Vangeryina Dooyum explained that Dr. Ayu was suspended by the Executive for alleged anti party activities.<\/p>\n

The Secretary stated that the decision to suspend the National Chairman was reached after the leadership reviewed his conduct at the end of the just concluded general elections.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cWe observed with utmost dismay that, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu who is the National Chairman of the PDP worked against the success of the party in Igyorov Council Ward.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is on record that, he has also failed to pay his Annual Subscription Fees as provided under Section 8 (9) of the constitution of the PDP 2017 (As Amended).<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther investigation also revealed that, he did not vote during the Governorship and State Assembly Elections held on March 18, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was also discovered that, most of his closest allies worked for the opposition party, the All Progressive Congress, APC, and hence, the abysmal performance of the PDP in Igyorov Ward.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn view of the foregoing, we hereby pass a Vote of No Confidence on Dr. Iyorchia Ayu and suspend him as a member of our party with immediate effect. The suspension takes effect from March 24, 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
