Ebonyi PDP dismisses reports of leaders’ suspension
admin
The Peoples Democratic Party in Ebonyi State has dismissed reports claiming that some of its top leaders, including the 2023 governorship candidate, High Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, have been suspended from the party.
reports that the purported suspended leaders are the 2023 governorship candidate, Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, the Deputy governorship candidate, Senator Paulinus Igwe Nwagu, Solomon Onwe, the South-east National Vice Chairman, Goodluck Chidiebere Egwu, the Immediate past PDP Ebonyi State Legal Adviser, Chief Mudi Erhenede, Mr Moses Idika, among others.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Director of Media and Publicity of the Anyi Ga Emeya Movement, Moses Idika, described the report as the handiwork of a “faceless individual” posing as the party’s Publicity Secretary.
He urged the public to disregard the statement, stressing that the Ebonyi PDP currently has no State Working Committee (SWC) and, therefore, cannot make any decision on behalf of the party.
The statement read, “For the avoidance of doubt, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ebonyi State currently has NO STATE WORKING COMMITTEE (SWC), and therefore, cannot take any decision on behalf of the party.
“It will be recalled that the kangaroo congress organised by the former Southeast zonal Chairman of the party, Chief Ali Odefa, has since been nullified via and quashed via a well-considered judgement on suit no: FHC/AI/CS/183/2024 on Monday, November 11, 2024.
“It is also instructive to note that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, while ruling on suit no: FHA/ FHC/ABJ/CS/2120/2025 on Friday, October 31, 2025, further affirmed the nullification of the purported congress as well as the expulsion of Ali Odefa from the PDP.”
Idika said the party is currently working with the National Working Committee (NWC) to set a new date for congresses in line with the court’s directive.
“We, therefore, call on the general public to ignore the purported suspension of leaders of the PDP Ebonyi State, as the faceless individual has no locus standi nor any form of standing in the PDP,” the statement added.
