PDP lifts suspension on National Assembly candidates

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has lifted the suspension slammed on two of its members in Ekiti State, Funso Ayeni and Ajayi Samuel, the party’s candidates for Ekiti North Senatorial District and Ekiti North II Federal Constituency respectively in the 2023 general elections.

This is contained in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, on Saturday in Abuja.

Ologunagba said the action was sequel to the adoption of the report of the disciplinary committee of the party, which recommended the lifting of the suspension.

He said, “By the lifting of the suspension, the status of Ayeni and Samuel as members of the PDP and especially as PDP candidates for Ekiti North Senatorial District and Ekiti North II Federal Constituency respectively in the 2023 general elections are fully restored.

“The NWC urged all members, supporters and teeming members of PDP in Ekiti State to remain united and continue to work together for the success of the party at all levels in the 2023 general election.”

The NWC had on January 20 approved the suspension of Sen. Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu State) and Chief Chris Ogbu (Imo), Ayeni, Samuel and five others from Ekiti State over alleged anti-party activities.
