The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the suspension of four top officials — National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), Deputy Legal Adviser Okechukwu Osuoha, and National Organizing Secretary Umaru Bature — for one month.
The disciplinary action follows a recent court ruling halting the party’s planned national convention.
Addressing journalists at the party’s Legacy House headquarters in Abuja on Saturday, the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, confirmed the decision, noting that it was reached during an emergency NWC meeting.
“The NWC, in line with the party’s constitution, came to the following conclusion: the National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade, SAN; Deputy Legal Adviser, Okechukwu Osuoha; National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu; and National Organizing Secretary have been suspended for one month and referred to the PDP Disciplinary Committee,” he said.
The development comes amid internal tensions within the PDP over the convention and broader leadership disputes.
