Amid a brewing crisis, the Social Democratic Party National Working Committee has suspended its national chairman, Shehu Gabam, and two other members over allegations of gross financial misconduct.
The spokesperson of the party, Araba Rufus Aiyenigba,
disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
The other members suspended are Nze Nnadi Clarkson, National
Auditor, and Uchechukwu Chukwuma, National Youth Leader of the party.
According to the party, the suspension of the trio takes
effect immediately.
“In exercise of its exclusive powers as guaranteed in
Article 19.1, 19.3(i), and 19.5 of the Party Constitution (2022 as amended),
the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has
approved the immediate suspension of the National Chairman of the Party, Alhaji
Shehu Musa Gbam, along with two members of the National Working Committee
(NWC), namely Nze Nnadi Clarkson, National Auditor, and Uchechukwu Chukwuma,
National Youth Leader, over grave allegations of gross financial misconduct,
embezzlement, misappropriation, and diversion of party funds.
“The decision followed a resolution of a meeting of the
National Working Committee (NWC), where overwhelming evidence was presented
linking the suspended officials to a series of unauthorised financial
transactions, personal enrichment schemes, and movement of funds from the
party’s accounts without necessary approvals of the NWC,” the statement reads.
This comes after protesters pulled down SDP’s National
Secretariat gate in Abuja.
