ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday clarified its position on the suspension of Ndudi Elumelu and six others, saying their suspension has not been lifted.
Recall the PDP had some time ago suspended their members in the House of Representatives following their alleged disregard to the party directive.
The party had sent the name of Kingsley Chinda as the person for the position of Minority Leader in the House, but, unfortunately, Elumelu was elected instead.
Angered by this development, the party leadership had placed suspension on the members.
However, the party, in a statement by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, yesterday said “the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wishes to clarify its position on the PDP Caucus at the House of Representatives.”
The party added that “the suspension placed on some PDP members who connived with others to supplant the party decision with regards to party positions in the House is subsisting and has not been lifted.
“The suspended members of the party cannot therefore conduct any business of the party at whatever level until disciplinary measures have been concluded.
“The National Working Committee (NWC) in its wisdom, knowing that nature abhors a vacuum and consistent with its position on the matter which has not changed, directed that the affairs of the PDP Caucus of the House of Representatives be organised and managed by: Hon. Kingsley Chinda, Hon. Yakubu Barde, Hon. Chukwuka Onyema and Hon. Muraina Ajibola
