The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Iyorchia Ayu has been suspended by the Executive Committee of the Party in Igyorov Ward of Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State with immediate effect.
A statement by the Party executives revealed that they suspended Ayu for anti-party activities after passing a vote of no confidence on him.
According to the secretary of the party in Igyorov ward, Banger Dooyum, while reading their resolution, Ayu’s anti-party activities alongside his allies contributed to PDP’s loss in his ward and local government in the governorship election.
They also accused him of not paying his annual dues as enshrined by the party’s constitution. Twelve out of the seventeen exco members signed the documents endorsing his suspension.
The Party executives also alleged that the PDP chieftain did not vote during the
governorship and state assembly elections held on the 18th of March, 2023.
According to them, most of Ayu’s closest allies worked for the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) which resulted in the abysmal performance of the PDP in Igyorov Ward.
