PDP Crisis Deepens, Suspends South-South Zonal Secretary

Published

on

The PDP South-South Zonal Executive Committee has suspended its Zonal Secretary, Chief Felix Omemu, for one month over alleged misconduct and unauthorised media statements discrediting the ZEC meeting held in Benin on Saturday.

Omemu had earlier issued a statement in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State declaring the meeting convened by the party’s South-South Vice Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, as illegal.

He argued that, according to the PDP constitution, a ZEC meeting requires approval from the Zonal Working Committee, which, he claimed, had neither deliberated nor agreed to convene such a meeting.

Amaewhule accused Omemu of misconduct, breach of trust, and fostering division among members.

Amaewhule said, “Chief Felix Omemu has been suspended and a disciplinary committee was set up to investigate him.

“Omemu’s action is illegal and an attempt to cause disunity and dissuade members from attending the South-South ZEC meeting in Benin.”

Following the suspension, PDP zonal legal adviser, George Turnah, was immediately appointed to function as the Acting zonal secretary.

On his part, Orbih commended the ZEC for suspending Omemu, saying the move is a right step in the right direction aimed at repositioning the party and curbing the excesses of leaders and members of the party who are bent on causing disunity in the party.

The meeting was attended by its Zonal chairman, Senators, and House of Representatives members from five states in the south-south, as well as delegates, except from Awka Ibom State.
