A new crisis within the opposition Peoples Democratic Party took a modern turn on Sunday as the Benue State chapter at the party's ward official suspended the party's National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
Ayu's suspension came scarcely a couple of days after the party's National Working Committee alluded the state Governor Samuel Ortom, to the party's disciplinary committee for test over charged anti-party activities.
The state Secretary of the party's Igyorov Ward of Gboko Local Government Area, Mr. Vangeryina Dooyum, declared Ayu's suspension at a media briefing on Sunday.
Dooyum, who talked for the sake of the ward chairman, Kashi Philip, said Ayu was suspended for anti-party activities.
He studied an explanation marked by 12 out of the 17 individuals of the ward official. He expressed that the choice to suspend the national chairman came after the ward administration checked on Ayu's conduct at the conclusion of the just-concluded common decisions.
The secretary in company with the ward chairman and other individuals, said, “We watched with most extreme alarm that Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, who is the National Chairman of the PDP, worked against the victory of the party in Igyorov council ward. It is on record that he has moreover fizzled to pay his yearly membership expenses as given beneath Area 8(9) of the constitution of the PDP 2017 (as revised).
“Further examination too revealed that he did not vote amid the governorship and state gathering races held on Walk 18, 2023. It was too found that most of his closest partners worked for the restriction party, the All Dynamic Congress, and subsequently, the wretched execution of the PDP in Igyorov Ward.
“In see of the prior, we, therefore, pass a vote of no certainty in Dr. Iyorchia Ayu and suspend him as a part of our party with prompt impact. The suspension takes impact from Walk 24, 2023.”
But the administration of the PDP at the state level told The PUNCH that it got the choice by the ward with astonish.

Endeavors to induce Ayu to respond to the advancement did not succeed, as his Extraordinary Consultant on Communications, Simon Imobo-Tswam, did not choose up his calls nor reacted to a content message sent to him by our journalist.
But the National Exposure Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, told The PUNCH, “Like other Nigerians, I studied the implied suspension this (Sunday) evening and you may concur with me that the party isn't in a position to respond formally at the minute.
“We will confirm the genuine state of issues that driven to this and respond accordingly. Whatever we say presently will not be sufficient but I trust that by tomorrow (Monday), the total thing will be clearer.”
