Eighty members of the House of Representatives on Thursday joined Minority Leader Godwin Ndudi Elumelu and his group in solidarity as they appeared before a probe panel constituted by the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Elumelu and six others were recently suspended for one month by the leadership of the PDP for flouting the party’s in choosing candidates for House minority positions.

Suspended alongside Eleumelu are: Lynda Ikpeazu, Wole Oke, Anayo Edwin, Gideon Gwadi, Toby Okechukwu and Adesegun Adekoya.

It was a mini-road show as the Reps moved in a convoy of three coaster buses and 17 cars to the Abuja home of the chairman of the probe panel, Dr Iyiorchia Ayu, where the panel sat.

In a brief remark before the committee went into a closed-door session with the lawmakers, Dr Ayu said: “Elders of the party are meeting and this is a family affair. This committee will take a decision in the best interest of the party.”

One of the House members who accompanied Elumelu and his group told reporters that the decision to make Eleumelu the Minority Leader was collectively taken by an overwhelming majority of PDP members in the House.

The lawmaker, who did not want his name in print, said: “This issue is not about Elumelu alone but about all of us. So, we are here to show our support for all of us, believing that at the end of the day, the party would be stronger.”

Other members of the BoT panel included Senator David Mark, Senator Adolphus Wabara, Senator Ibrahim Mantu and a former Deputy Speaker Austin Opara.

The PDP leadership had nominated Kingsley Chinda, as Minority Leader; Chukwuka Onyema, Deputy Minority Leader; Yakubu Barde, Minority Whip and Muraina Ajibola as Deputy Minority Whip.

Those that eventually emerged against the party’s directive are: Elumelu, Minority Leader; Toby Okechukwu Deputy Minority Leader; Gideon Gwani, Minority Whip and Adesegun Adekoya Deputy Minority Whip.

The Ayu panel will submit its report to the leadership of the BoT within one week.

PDP don’t need any external enemies. There are enough enemies internally.

PDP are just useless

If they had told them years ago that they will quarrel over minority leader seat,they would curse you to eternity. This life is funny.

PDP better becareful otherwise he wou loose some his house member to other party

Lol. According to PDP, they supported rebel Saraki and Dogara, who emerged without their party's endorsement, for the sake of 'independence of the National Assembly'. But now that their own members exercised the same independence in selecting their own leaders within the assembly, they are suspending them. Talk about hypocrisy and double-standard.

Medicine after death

APC guided their member

Why PDP wrote letter

PDP will never know peace for what they have done and are still doing to Nigerians. Atiku will never smell presidency. All their efforts shall be in vain. Amen!

let do more today

Awon werey PDP and co

The BoT panel members listed here are proven democrats. I hope they tread with caution lest Wike lead the party into another internal crises. The party took a while to recover from the ripples of Wike & Fayose’s political rascality in making Ali Modu Sheriff PDP chairman. Nigeria doesn’t need infighting from another major party. It never looks good if the public perception is that the will of the many can be thwarted by the ambition of the few.

Pdp need to be in shape and prepare for the next election!

Wike should go and sit down abeg. What nonsense and effrontery, using Secondus to settle scores or act as emperor will only destroy the party.

The same PDP members and apologists who were parroting the notion that the National Assembly will choose its own Principal Officers without party interference and imposition when it concerned the majority APC, are now investigating why the same National Assembly minority members chose Principal Officers that were not the party imposed candidates.


PDP hypocrisy is without shame or limit.

Hurry Up APC Welcomes You

This is what will happen to all my enemies .soooooooo PDP can be reduces to this ? They are yet to see anything what happened to saraki will happen to all enemies of this country ameeeeeeeen
