Breaking: PDP NWC suspends Elumelu, others over Reps leadership positions
Sequel to the emergence of Ndudi Elumelu as the Minority Leader of the House of Representative as announced, Wednesday, by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, the National Working Committee, NWC, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has suspended Honourable Ndudi Elumelu and others who were announced as Minority Leader and other principal officers of the house as against the list of choice members it had forwarded to the Speaker.
The NWC suspended Elumelu and six others over insubordination of the party’s interest.
The PDP NWC suspended Elumelu and six others over insubordination of the party’s interest. The six others are Hon. Wole Oke, Hon. Lynda Ikpeazu, Hon. Anayo Edwin, Hon. Gideon Gwadi, Hon. Toby Okechukwu and Hon. Adekoya Abdul-Majid.
Recall that the leadership of the PDP had written to the speaker, listing Kingsley Chinda (PDP Rivers) as minority leader, Chukwuka Onyema as deputy minority leader; Yakubu Barde, minority whip and Muraina Ajibola as deputy minority whip.
But the Speaker had set aside the list forwarded by the PDP on the grounds that the PDP alone did not represent all minority political parties in the house.
He however, went ahead to read a letter signed by 99 members of minority political parties in the house, wherein he announced Ndidi Elumelu as minority leader, Toby Okechukwu as deputy minority leader, Gideon Gwani as minority whip and Adesegun Adekoya as deputy minority whip.
Following the Speaker’s announcement, there was a free-for-all at the House chambers as other PDP members vehemently rejected the nomination.
PDP summoned the lawmakers on Thursday for participating in the minority leadership tussle at the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
“After preliminary examination by the NWC, it was evident that the roles played by the above-mentioned members, bordered on indiscipline, insubordination and disobedience of party, directives contrary to Section 58 (1)(b)(c)(f)(h) of the PDP Constitution,” PDP spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan said in a statement.
“Consequent upon this, the above-mentioned members of our party are hereby suspended for one month and this matter is hereby referred to the National Disciplinary Committee of our party, in keeping with Section 57(3) of the PDP Constitution.”
