The South West Zonal Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday nullified the suspension of five chieftains of the party in Ondo State.

In a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday by the party’s Zonal Director of Media and Publicity, Mr Lere Olayinka, said the Zonal Caretaker Committee took the decision at its meeting held in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Monday.

The party said that the suspension of the chieftains by the State Working Committee fell short of procedures laid down in the party’s constitution.

The affected party members suspended by the State Working Committee on December 22, are Chief Oyedele Ibini; Hon. Lad Ojomo; Mr. Ayo Fadaka; Hon. Rasheed Elegbeleye and Hon. Ebenezer Alabi

The Caretaker Committee, in the letter addressed to the Ondo State Chairman, Hon. Fatai Adams, called for restraints and urged the chairman to always ensure that his actions were in consonance with all extant laws of the party.

The letter signed by the Zonal Secretary, Hon. Daisi Akintan, dated December 28, 2020, was copied to the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus; Chairman of the National Reconciliation Committee, Senator Bukola Saraki among others.

“Sequel to the suspension of the following leaders of the party in Ondo State; Chief Oyedele Ibini, Hon. Lad Ojomo, Mr. Ayo Fadaka, Hon. Rasheed Elegbeleye and Hon. Ebenezer Alabi, and their subsequent appeals to the Zonal Committee, in line with Section 61(1) of the party’s Constitution (2017 as amended) on the grounds that they were neither queried nor given a fair hearing before they were suspended, the committee is therefore compelled to act with immediate effect.

“Consequent upon the above, the Committee diligently considered their appeals severally and relying on Section 57(6), which states that ‘any decision taken against a member who has not been informed of the charges against him or has not been given any opportunity of defending himself, shall be null and void.

“It was confirmed that they were arbitrarily suspended by the State Working Committee without any preliminary hearing as demanded by the Constitution.

“Therefore this action falls short of procedures as laid down by the party’s Constitution.

“In exercising its powers as stated in Section 61(2), the Zonal Caretaker Committee has therefore set aside their purported suspension from the party forthwith.

“We also wish to advise that you exercise restraint and ensure always that all your actions must be in consonance with all extant laws of the party, especially now that the party is trying to recover from the defeat suffered at the last gubernatorial election in the state.

“Please note that it is inauspicious for the party to embark on any action that is capable of causing disaffection, discordancy, disillusionment and despondency among members. You are therefore advised to unite all tendencies within the party and make them work together in preparation for winning future elections.

“It is also of utmost importance you note that the National Working Committee (NWC) in recognition of reconciliation as the key language of the moment, inaugurated a Reconciliation Committee led by HE Dr. Bukola Saraki, to look into all grievances and assuage same among members. You are thus expected to refer to the Committee all complaints, issues, grievances and allegations when they arrive in your state any moment from now,” the letter read.
