Why PDP Suspended National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu

Share

The reason the National Chairman, Iyochia Ayu, of the Peoples Democratic Party, was suspended is mainly because of his anti-party activities.

It was reported that the recently ousted chairman was instrumental in the opposition party’s failure to grasp the number one position in Nigeria.

The recent-past Chairman was forced to exit office on Tuesday by a Benue State High Court in Makurdi that gave the order on Monday of the same week.

However, Ayu’s Special Assistant on Communication, Simon Imobo-swam, disclosed that his Boss would be going to court to challenge the verdict.

Without wasting time, PDP has already appointed the Deputy National Chairman, (North), Umar Damagum as the acting national chairman.

In the aftermath of the suspension, the Benue State court restrained Ayu from parading himself as the chairman of the party following a suit filed by a former aide to the state governor, Conrad Utaan.

Ayu and the PDP were listed as the first and second respondents, respectively. The case has been adjourned till April 17 for a hearing.
