Isaac Fayose Declares Himself PDP Chairman, Suspends Atiku, Wike And Others [Video]

Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose, has declared himself the new National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In his announcement, Isaac Fayose also said that he had suspended several high-profile party members from both factions of the PDP.

Those suspended include Atiku Abubakar, Nyesom Wike, Ayo Fayose, Seyi Makinde, and other members of the G5 group.

The Ekiti state ex-governor’s brother boldly added that anyone dissatisfied with his actions should take the matter to court.

He said, “It’s official, now I’m the new national Chairman of the PDP. The current [Acting] National Chairman, Mr Damagum, has been suspended and I’ve asked the security at Wadata House to keep the key with the Secretariat.

“If you’re not happy, please, we don’t want you to come to the secretariat to make trouble. You can go to court. And the NWC, some of you have been suspended, drop all the PDP stuff with you at the security at Wandata. The former G5 has been suspended. Wike has been suspended.

“Fayose has been suspended. Governor Seyi Makinde has been suspended. All the people doing anti-party have been suspended. Atiku too has been suspended because his ambition is giving us headache.”

KanyiDaily recalls that a faction of the PDP’s National Working Committee had suspended Umar Damagum, along with the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.

This faction also suspended the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, and the National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade.

Despite these moves, the Abuja High Court ruled that the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) and Board of Trustees (BoT) cannot remove Damagum from his role as Acting National Chairman.

The court further instructed that no other individual be recognized as the PDP chairman until the party’s national convention in December of next year.
