PDP vs. Ortom: Governor Wike Challenge PDP Over Disciplinary Committee Summon

 


Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has said his Benue State counterpart, Dr. Samuel Ortom will not appear before the National Disciplinary Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP over his alleged involvement in anti-party activities.

He also described the suspension of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose and others for anti-party activities by the National Working Committee,  NWC of the PDP as a nullity.

Governor Wike stated these in Port Harcourt  while reacting to the NWC decision to refer Governor Ortom to the party's disciplinary committee and suspension of Fayose and others.

The Governor stated categorically clear that the National Working Committee made up of the National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, the Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu and other members of NWC, cannot suspend Ayo Fayose, not to talk about referring Governor Ortom to national disciplinary committee, emphasizing that the decision of the NWC to refer governor Ortom to the party's National Disciplinary Committee is the height of all insult.

He stated emphatically that the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom who has stood firm for the unity of the country by coming out openly to say that Nigeria must be one will not appear before any kangaroo National Disciplinary Committee.

Governor Wike opined that if anyone deserves to be suspended from the party, that person is Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, who he accused of contravening the PDP constitution on the zoning of elective and appointive offices.

The Governor cautioned Ayu and the NWC to desist from threatening the G-5 governors and members of the Integrity Group with suspension, pointing out that, Ayu has by his recent action opened up a new chapter of political war in the party.
