The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed claims suggesting that some of its key leaders in Ebonyi, including former Governor of the state, Sen. Sam Egwu, and 23 others were suspended from the party. The party in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Sunday described the purported reports as misleading.
Ologbondiyan said that no PDP leader in Ebonyi had been suspended adding that the document purporting the suspension was fictitious and did not emanate from the Ebonyi state chapter of the party as suggested. “For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP does not have a state working committee in Ebonyi state as presented by the said fictitious document.
“As such, any such body said to have met to arrive at any decision or any action claimed to have been taken by such a non-existent body is at best imaginary.” Ologbondiyan said that the public was already aware that the body vested with the task of piloting the affairs of PDP in Ebonyi was the State Caretaker Committee.
He said that the committee had since assumed its mandate to the approval and delight of the leaders and members of PDP in Ebonyi since the dissolution of the party’s state executive in the state. “Moreover, a check on the records of our party in Ebonyi affirms that no such meeting as purported in the said document was held to take any such decision at any time.
“However, we have been made aware that the fabricated document emanated from a former leader of our party in Ebonyi who left on a personal voyage to another party.” He said that the defected leader sought to cause confusion in the state, having failed to pull PDP leaders and members in his expedition.
