PDP chairmen suspend forum leader over attempt to stop party’s convention

Addressing a news conference after the meeting, the acting chairman of the Forum and Edo Chairman, Dr Tony Aziegbemi expressed the forum’s support for the party to organise a successful national convention to repositioning the party.

Aziegbemi said that 28 members of the forum at the meeting discussed issues concerning the party and its forthcoming national convention.

He said that the forum resolved to strengthen the party and to support its leadership to ensure emergence of new leadership that would lead PDP to reclaim power at the federal level.

He disassociated the forum from individuals that dragged the party to court to stop its forthcoming national convention, saying “we can’t be used to bring down this party.”

Reading the forum communiqué, Aziegbem expressed grave concern over the activities of certain individuals within the PDP who, allegedly act in concert with external interests linked to derail the party’s national convention.

“Specifically, the forum condemned the actions of Nwachukwu and Nnana who recently sought a court injunction to halt the convention.

“Their actions were unanimously described as a betrayal of the party’s unity and collective resolve.
