The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, and National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade, over allegations of anti-party activities. The suspension was announced in a statement signed by the PDP National Director of Publicity, Chinwe Nnorom.

According to the statement, the suspension was made during the PDP’s 593rd meeting on Thursday, October 10, 2024. The party’s National Working Committee (NWC) took the decision after considering allegations of disloyalty and insubordination against the two officials.

In the meantime, the deputies of the suspended officials have been directed to assume office in an acting capacity. Ibrahim Abdullahi Manga will act as National Publicity Secretary, while Okechukwu Osuoha will serve as Acting National Legal Adviser. This move ensures continuity in the party’s operations.

The suspensions come amid internal conflicts within the PDP, particularly regarding the tenure of the acting national chairman, Umar Damagum and disciplinary actions against erring members.

The PDP’s internal crisis has also divided the party’s governors, particularly on the party’s leadership structure in Rivers state. Some of the governors are queuing behind Governor Siminalayi Fubara, while others are supporting former governor Nyesom Wike.
