In a dramatic turn of events, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has plunged deeper into internal turmoil as the National Working Committee (NWC) suspended both its National Chairman and Secretary for alleged anti-party activities. The news was first announced via the official X handle of Vanguard Newspaper.
Sources in Abuja reveal that the decision to suspend the two top officers was taken during a high-stakes emergency meeting, which stretched late into the night and concluded in the early hours of Friday. The majority of the NWC members, concerned about the party’s stability and direction, reached a consensus on the suspension after extensive deliberation.
Confirming the move, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, issued an official statement at precisely 3:18 a.m., outlining the party’s stance on the matter. “The suspension is a reflection of the NWC’s commitment to discipline and cohesion within the party,” Ologunagba stated, underscoring the urgency with which the party seeks to address the rising tide of internal dissent.
The suspension of the National Chairman and Secretary is expected to shake the party’s foundations, particularly as the PDP prepares for critical electoral challenges. Analysts speculate that the internal strife, primarily fueled by power struggles within the Rivers State chapter, could have broader implications for the party’s national outlook.
This unprecedented move raises questions about the future leadership of the PDP and whether the party can maintain unity ahead of upcoming elections. As the dust settles, political watchers will be keeping a close eye on how this high-profile suspension impacts the party’s overall trajectory.
The PDP, once regarded as a formidable opposition force, now faces a moment of reckoning—one that will either steer it back on course or deepen its internal divisions.
