The PDP’s National Working Committee , acting on behalf of the PDP’s National Executive Committee , has authorised Okoroafor’s suspension, effective as of Friday, January 27th, per Sections 29 and 57 of the PDP’s constitution .
He explained that the reason for his suspension was because of “allegations of anti-party activities and violations of provisions of Section 58 of the PDP constitution .” Ologunagba further stated that the suspended PDP chairman had been submitted to the relevant disciplinary committee within the party.
Sources told NewsXtra that Okoroafor’s suspension was related to his refusal to appear at a rally in the state for PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
