PDP suspends Anyanwu, three other officers

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended four of its national officers for one month, following a recent court ruling that restrained the party from proceeding with its planned national convention.

Those affected include the National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN); the National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu; the Deputy Legal Adviser, Okechukwu Osuoha; and the National Organizing Secretary, Umaru Bature.

Announcing the decision at a press briefing on Saturday, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the move was the outcome of an emergency meeting of the NWC held at the party’s Legacy House headquarters in Maitama, Abuja.
