Former Ekiti Governor Ayodele Fayose has dismissed his suspension from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party saying it can’t stand the test of time.
Fayose described his suspension as a nullity and a joke taken too far because the actions of the Senator Iyorcha Ayu-led NWC lack moral and constitutional backing.
The PDP National Secretary through its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Debo Ogunagba on Thursday announced the suspension of Fayose, former Secretary to the Federal Government, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Prof Dennis Ityavyar and Aslam Aliyu over alleged anti-party activities.
But reacting, Fayose, in a statement by his media aide, Mr Lere Olayinka, said the suspension was nothing but the last kick of a dead horse.
The ex-Governor stated that the actions and inactions orchestrated by those he called jesters would not stand as they were taken in flagrant disregard for the party’s operational legal framework.
“Ayu and his cohorts are only entertaining themselves with the purported suspension as their latest comedy skit.”
”In a matter of days, the inglorious tenure of Ayu as national chairman of PDP will become history and the party will enjoy a new lease of life,” he added.
The suspension, which takes effect on Thursday, was arrived at after an extensive review of the affairs of the party, pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).
