The Acting Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State Thursday vowed to thoroughly investigate alleged cases of anti-party activities involving its members in the state.
The committee announced plans to establish a disciplinary panel in the coming days, emphasising that it will not hesitate to recommend sanctions, including suspensions or expulsion from the party, regardless of an individual’s status or influence.
The focus will include actions taken by members during the 2023 general elections.
This position was revealed during a press briefing attended by acting executives from both state and local government levels.
Acting State Chairman, Robinson Nname-Ewor, said, “Under our leadership, we shall immediately commence steps toward healing and rebuilding our once-great Party, which was battered, with hope lost across the State, 23 Local Government Areas, and 319 electoral wards. We shall make the PDP Rivers State Chapter great again.
The Acting Executive outlined specific conditions for the continued existence of the PDP in Rivers State.
One of the key conditions is that the PDP’s National Leadership must fully reinstate the party’s leadership in the state under Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Additionally, the Acting Executive, led by Robinson Nname-Ewor, must be recognised as the legitimate leadership of the party following the sack of the Aaron Chukeuemeka-led executive by a State High Court.
The Acting Executive had initially planned to take over the PDP State Secretariat at 23 Aba Road on Thursday.
However, during a media briefing, the Acting Chairman announced that the plan had been suspended to prevent any potential crisis in the state.
