The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyorchia Ayu, has been suspended by his party’s ward for alleged anti-party activities.

Addressing journalists on Sunday, on behalf of the Ward Chairman, Kashi Philip, the Ward Secretary, Mr Vangeryina Dooyum, said Senator Ayu was suspended for alleged anti party activities.

He said, “We observed with utmost dismay that Dr. Iyorchia Ayu who is the National Chairman of the PDP worked against the success of the party in Igyorov Council Ward.

“It is on record that he has also failed to pay his Annual Subscription Fees as provided under Section 8 (9) of the Constitution of the PDP, 2017 (As amended).

“Further investigation also revealed that he did not vote during the Governorship and State Assembly elections held on March 18, 2023.

“It was also discovered that most of his closest allies worked for the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and hence, the abysmal performance of the PDP in Igyorov Ward.

“In view of the foregoing, we hereby pass a vote of no confidence on Dr. Iyorchia Ayu and suspend him as a member of our party with immediate effect. The suspension takes effect from March 24, 2023.”

Although the National Chairman of PDP, Ayu, is yet to react to the suspension, NewsOrient reports that the development has deepened the crisis within the PDP, a crisis that heightened just before and during the just concluded general election in Nigeria.
