The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended its Chairman.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended its Chairman in Edo State, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi.

This was made known via a statement by the PDP Publicity Secretary, Chris Osa Nehikhare, in Benin, the Edo State Capital on Wednesday.

The PDP stated that it was a resolution reached by the State Working Committee during a meeting when he was accused of gross misconduct by brewing unnecessary tension and disunity among party members in the state.

The PDP alleged that the manner was akin to bringing the party into disrepute.

The statement read, “Ignoring this allegation would be like ignoring the elephant in the room. This macabre dance must not be ignored as Edo people have watched in utter amazement and disappointment how Dr. Tony Aziegbemi has been roped and entangled by his actions and unfortunately too, his inactions in the management of the affairs of the party.

“As a disciplined party, we pride ourselves as organised and focused on service delivery to our teeming supporters and of course Edo people.

“We urge our members and supporters to please remain calm as we embark on this self-cleansing exercise.

“His Deputy, Harrison Omagbon, has been directed to step in acting capacity pending when the allegation levelled against Dr. Aziegbemi would be investigated and resolved.
