The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has dismissed the suspension of the Chairman of the party in Ondo State, Fatai Adams.
Recall that Adams was on Tuesday suspended by the party’s executives in the state over alleged anti-party activities.
In a swift reaction, the NWC in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, declared the suspension as “said suspension as null and void and of no effect”
NWC said, “The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to the purported suspension of the Chairman of the Ondo State Chapter of our Party, Mr. Fatai Adams.
“The NWC declares the said suspension as null and void and of no effect, not being consistent with provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules.
“For emphasis, no State Working Committee has the power whatsoever to contemplate or suspend a State Chairman without due recourse to the National Working Committee as provided by the Constitution of PDP.
“The PDP is an organized political Party governed by strict adherence to the provisions of its Constitution and Rules and will not allow any individual or group at any level to violate its Constitution and Rules. READ ALSO:

“The NWC cautions those involved in this illegal act in defiance of the PDP Constitution to retrace their steps as the NWC will not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary or punitive actions to preserve the stability of our Party and the sanctity of our Constitution and Rules.
“The NWC states that Mr. Fatai Adams remains the Chairman of the Ondo State Chapter of the PDP and charges all leaders, critical stakeholders, members and supporters of our Party in Ondo State and the nation to disregard the purported suspension.
“The NWC enjoins all Party members in Ondo State to remain united and continue to work together in the overall interest of our Party and the people.
