The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national working
committee (NWC) has rescinded the suspension of Ayo Fayose, former governor of
Ekiti.
The party also lifted the suspension of Ibrahim Shema,
former governor of Katsina; Anyim Pius Anyim, former secretary of the government
of the federation; Dennis Ityavyar (Benue), and Aslam Aliyu (Zamfara).
The PDP NWC also reversed the referral of Samuel Ortom,
governor of Benue to the party’s national disciplinary committee.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP
spokesperson, said the decision was taken after the NWC “extensively discussed
recent developments” in the party.
“The NWC recognised
the imperativeness of a total reconciliation among party leaders and critical
stakeholders for a more cohesive party in the overall interest of our teeming
members and Nigerians in general,” the statement reads.
“This decision is without prejudice to the powers of the NWC
to take necessary disciplinary action against any member of the party at any
time pursuant to the provisions of the constitution of the PDP.”
The PDP asked all members and leaders to be guided by the
party’s constitution and the “new spirit and necessity of reconciliation, unity
and harmony in our party at this critical time”.
Last week, the PDP NWC suspended Shema, Anyim, Ityavyar, and
Aliyu over alleged anti-party activities.
However, the members protested their suspension, saying they
were not given a fair hearing.
The decision of the PDP NWC to lift the suspension of the
members comes days after Iyorchia Ayu was removed as the party’s national
chairman and Iliya Damagum was appointed as the acting leader.
Ayu was suspended by his ward in Gboko LGA, Benue state.
A day after his suspension, a high granted an ex parte order
restraining Ayu from parading himself as the party’s national chairman.
