Dr Iyorchia Ayu, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been suspended by the party.

The suspension of Ayu was effected by the Ward Executive of the party in Igyorov Ward of Gboko Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue state.

Speaking at a news conference on Sunday, on behalf of the Ward Chairman, Mr Kashi Philip, the Ward Secretary, Mr Vangeryina Dooyum said that Ayu was suspended by the Executive for alleged anti-party activities.

He read from a text signed by 12 out of the 17 member Ward Executive.

The Secretary said the decision to suspend the National Chairman was reached after the leadership reviewed his conduct at the end of the just concluded general elections.

The Secretary said, “we observed with utmost dismay that, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu who is the National Chairman of the PDP worked against the success of the party in Igyorov Council Ward.

“It is on record that, he has also failed to pay his Annual Subscription Fees as provided under Section 8 (9) of the constitution of the PDP 2017 (As Amended).

“Further investigation also revealed that, he did not vote during the Governorship and State Assembly Elections held on  March 18, 2023.

“It was also discovered that, most of his closest allies worked for the opposition party, the All Progressive Congress, APC, and hence, the abysmal performance of the PDP in Igyorov Ward.

“In view of the foregoing, we hereby pass a Vote of No Confidence on Dr. Iyorchia Ayu and suspend him as a member of our party with immediate effect. The suspension takes effect from March 24, 2023.”
