National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has voided the purported expulsion of Hon. Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu from the party by the Umuopia/Umukegwu Ward chapter of the PDP in Imo.

A statement issued on Saturday by Debo Ologunagba, PDP National Publicity Secretary, informed that the NWC declared the said purported expulsion as null and void and of no effect, not being consistent with the express provision of Sections 57 (7) and 59 (3) of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules of our great Party.

The statement argued that Section 57 (7) of the Constitution of the PDP is clear in providing that “Notwithstanding any other provision relating to discipline, no Executive Committee at any level, except the National Executive Committee, shall entertain any question of discipline as may relate or concern a member of the National Executive Committee, Deputy Governors or members of the National Assembly…”


It pointed out also that Section 59 (3) of the Constitution of the PDP is unambiguous in providing that “Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution relating to discipline, no Executive Committee at any level except the National Executive Committee shall entertain any question of discipline as may relate or concern a member of the National Executive Committee, President, Vice President, Governors, Deputy Governors, Ministers, Ambassadors, Special Advisers or member of any of the Legislative Houses.”

The statement noted: “It is therefore clear that no Ward, Local Government or even State Chapter of the Party has the power to suspend, expel or discipline a member of the National Assembly in any form whatsoever without due recourse to the National Working Committee as provided by the Constitution of the PDP.”

The NWC strongly cautioned that the PDP is an organized political party governed by strict adherence to the provisions of its Constitution and Rules and will not allow any individual or group at any level to violate its Constitution and Rules under any circumstances whatsoever.


The national leadership of the main opposition maintained that Hon. Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu remains a bona-fide member of the PDP with all rights, privileges, recognition, obligations and charges all leaders, critical stakeholders, members, and supporters of our Party in Imo State and the nation to disregard the purported expulsion.

The NWC called on all party members in Imo State to remain united and continue to work together in the overall interest of our Party and the people

This is one man working to rebuild the PDP after Wike and his co-travellers nearly destroyed it.

If anyone tries to suspend him, then someone must be bankrolling him. I'm glad the PDP NWC has stated their position.

Nigeria needs a strong opposition party. If not, these crooks in power will deal with this country without giving a hoot!

Those paid hawks from local government failed.. even before they sat to plan

PDP is rebuilding and building .. and some foolish imps want it destroy…. To kill opposition

.. and those Yoruba on that thread celebrating.. let them keep sleeping on air . With their hallucinations

Na small time e remain..

PDP needs this guy, good thing the NWC is stepping up.

Some chimpanzees in the other thread were jubilating on the expulsion carried out by a fake ward chairman and members. Ugochinyere carry go

Only God knows how much Wike paid for that suspension.
Ikenga is a mega asset to PDP they should protect him very well.

Debo is speaking for himself, he was also suspended as PDP spoke man for a long time

Pdp, put your house in order

PDP house of commotion all thanks to Mr intigrity.

Expulsion was from miscreants who resent opposition politics.

k

Ugochinyere is APC's biggest nightmare in Imo state. That's why they tried all they could to eliminate him last year but God is always by his side...

So I see the hands of Governor Hope and his Hopeless supporters on this...

Also, few weeks ago he was in Rivers with other young PDP members to show solidarity with Governor Fubara in this his challenging moments...

Ugochinyere my brother will live long and will will remain relevant...

I perceived the same.It is the hand work of Wike.This man is strongly behind Fubara.
Wike has failed again

Politics and politicians

PDP dead party. You expel someone over misconduct and yet someone is right in your nose dinning and whining with your opposition and yet you can’t do nothing. Shameless party

Nyesom Wike and Hopeless Uzodinma
Una plan don fail

Did the nwc sit to nullify the suspension? because I know by precedence and law,if a party member is suspended from ward to state level,the nwc sits and do a vote on the fate of the party member.

The crisis rocking PDP is going to be near impossible to resolve before 2027.There is unnecessary egos and personal interests involved in this crisis.There is also a legal aspect to this crisis.

You didn't mention who chased your daddy out of PDP.

Mr man, go and read the press release refuting and disclaiming the alleged expulsion by his LGA and ward PDP chairmen.

Subsequently, he was made the new party leader, since he is the highest political office holder in the state.

A great man and yet he couldn't produce a single councilor in the entire Rivers state for his party.

Just as Obi couldn't produce any for his party in Anambra. I hope that makes sense to you.
