Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has set up a committee to review cases of alleged indiscipline and anti-party activities by some members during the 2023 general elections.
The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the decision to set up the panel was reached at a meeting of the National Working Committee ( NWC), on Tuesday.
He said the decision of the NWC was in furtherance of ongoing efforts by the national leadership of the party to instill discipline and achieve comprehensive reconciliation in the party.
“This resolution of the NWC is pursuant to its powers under Section 29 (2) (a) and (b) and Section 31 (2) (c), (d) and (i) of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017). Accordingly, the NWC hereby directs that no organ of the party at any level shall henceforth commence any disciplinary action against any member of the party without due consideration and regard to the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017). The NWC charges all members to remain focused on the ideals of our Party as a democratic organization guided by our Rules, Regulations and Constitution as we collectively make progress towards lasting reconciliation, discipline and unity in our party,” he said.
