The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ebonyi State chapter said that only the National Executive Committee is empowered by the party’s constitution to take any disciplinary action against any National Executive Committee member.
In a statement signed by the State Chairman of the party, Onyemaechi Nwel,e and his Secretary, Zaccheaus Ogbuefi, said that the purported expulsion was unconstitutional, null, and void.
He called on all members of the party and the general public to disregard the purported expulsion of the National Vice Chairman, Southeast zone, Chief Ali Odefa, by executives of Oguduokwor Ward, in Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
“It was criminal for the self-acclaimed Executives of Oguduokwor Ward to impersonate and carry out the hatchet job targeted to tarnish the Integrity of the Southeast National Vice Chairman of the party.
The party, therefore, said that even if the ward executives of Oguduokwor Ward were valid and legitimate, they don’t also have the right to institute any disciplinary actions against the NVC.
The Party further warned all members to desist from being used to destabilize the party by desperate politicians who want to hijack the party, as any erring members would be decisively dealt with in line with the constitution of the party.
