The State Executive Committee (SEC) of Delta State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked all local government areas and ward executive committees to stop forthwith all suspension of members in form of disciplinary action, without official clearance from the SEC.

The party, therefore, reversed all hitherto pronounced suspensions that were not approved by a written directive from the SEC.

Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza, state publicity secretary of the PDP in a release said the party declared all other actions on matters of alleged misdemeanors, discrepancies, and other anti-party activities that were not referred to the party at the state level, as null and void and of no effect whatsoever. “All LGAs and wards Excos are hereby reminded that in line with our mandate to ensure and uphold fairness within our fold, the party has regularly deployed recognized instruments and applied established due process mechanisms, devoid of perceived witch-hunt, to handle disciplinary issues whenever they arise.

“The party however directs all LGAs party chairmen, to forward the name(s) of those accused of anti-party activities, with a detailed report of their alleged discrepancies and contrary activities, to the state secretariat of the party, within two weeks from the date of this directive, for proper investigation by constitutionally recognized disciplinary channels, and subsequent recommendations to the SEC, which will then direct/Instruct appropriate action(s) for the offense (s) and offender(s)” it warned.
