The Peoples Democratic Party on
Monday said its Director of New
Media, Deji Adeyanju, has not been
removed.
Ahmed Makarfi, Chairman of the
party’s Caretaker Committee, told
PREMIUM TIMES that the leadership
of the party only had issues with some
“far-reaching statements” distributed
by Mr. Adeyanju “without clearance.”
Mr. Adeyanju was announced
removed in a statement distributed by
Dayo Adeyeye, the party’s publicity
secretary, on Friday afternoon. The
statement cited different acts of
insubordination.
The statement, signed by Chinwe
Nnorom on behalf of Mr. Adeyeye,
also said @PdpNigeria, the official
Twitter handle of the party run by
Mr. Adeyanju, was no longer
recognised by the party.
“In view of the above, the party has
immediately re-launched a new
handle: @officialpdpnig to form part
of the social media platform of our
great party for ease of
communication, administration and
control,” Mr. Adeyeye was quoted as
saying.
But in a message to PREMIUM TIMES,
Mr. Makarfi, a former governor of
Kaduna State, said the PDP still
recognises Mr. Adeyanju and the new
media department, but added that
their activities would be streamlined
going forward.
“If he was employed by the last
National Working Committee, then we
will have no reason to remove him but
to streamline his work,” Mr. Makarfi
said.
Mr. Makarfi is the head of an ad-hoc
leadership set up by the party at its
botched national convention in Port
Harcourt last month.

Mr. Adeyanju was appointed in December 2015,
and had been responsible for issuing press
statements on behalf of the party.
After months of controversial statements following
the party’s 2015 elections misfortune, the PDP
apologised for contributing to the toxic atmosphere
on social media and to improve on its opposition
by making it more robust and constructive.
Last week, Mr. Adeyanju signed a statement calling
for the resignation of President Buhari in the wake
of the country’s descent into recession. It is not
immediately clear if that statement contributed to
the leadership’s disagreement with

Mr. Adeyanju the tout...you see ya life??

see this man oooo, better leave my thread

The only thing the PDP have going for them now,as an opposition political party is Adeyanju and the likes of Fayose and FFK, the rest are playing to the gallery and have refused to match APC strength for strength. To remove Adeyanju is calling for the death of the party.
