Anti-party activities: Delta PDP expels 2, suspends 5 others indefinitely
The Delta State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it has expelled two of its members and suspended five others for anti-party activities.
A statement from the State Publicity Secretary, Dr. Ifeanyi M. Osuoza on Wednesday said the disciplinary action was taken by the State Working Committee (SWC) after incessant warnings to the affected members.
According to the statement, three others have also been directed to appear before the State Disciplinary Committee of the Party.
“These decisions are based on recent actions by the affected members, which were deemed to be potentially inimical to the peace and harmony of the party and tantamount to causing discord and disaffection among loyal Party members in Bowen Ward Six, Warri south local government area of Delta State.
“Those expelled are Mr. Bose Omare Ayo and Mr. Victor Mamoh, while those suspended indefinitely are Mr. Ope Onome Wilson (secretary), Mr. Uber Okorete (youth leader), Mr. Sillo Oritseweyinmi (publicity secretary), Miss Nomayo Emmanuella Rukevwe (legal adviser) and Mr. Okene Ese (financial secretary).
“Those to appear before the State Disciplinary Committee are Dr. Meyiwa Erewa, Augustine Okene, Esq. and Amb. Toyin Agbohayah, JP.”
Osuoza confirmed that these decisions were taken after a meeting of the party SWC, on Wednesday, August 26th, 2020.
“The Delta State PDP hopes that these decisions will not only serve as a clear signal to other party members that party discipline should always be paramount in all our actions and utterances but will also deter those intending to tow the same line to be very mindful of their actions in the overall interest of the party.
“We urge all party members to remain calm and law-abiding and most importantly, to keep adhering strictly to the Covid-19 directives and advisories, mandated by the state government and the medical and health authorities,” the statement finished.
