The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended the state chairman, Fatai Adams, over allegations of anti-party activities.

Adams’ suspension was announced in a statement by the party’s working committee in Ondo on Tuesday.

The statement was co-signed by the state deputy Chairman, Tola Alabere and state secretary, Oluseye Olujimi.

Also Organising Secretary, Dare Akinwale; as well as six other members of the working committee co-signed the statement.

Pursuant to Section 58(1) (b, c, f, h, and j) of the PDP Constitution as amended in 2017, the State Working Committee has approved the suspension of the State Chairman. Mr. Fatai Adams. for anti-party activities and for engaging in activities likely to bring the party to disrepute,” PDP explained in the statement.

“He is accordingly, advised to appear before the State Disciplinary Committee of the party for further interrogations within the next one week.

“The party wishes to state emphatically that it will deal decisively with any incursion by the ruling party. the APC, into its ranks.”

Reacting to his suspension, Adams denied the allegation, saying some elements in the party were witch-hunting him due to the forthcoming bye-election in Akoko North-East/Akoko North-West Federal Constituency in Ondo.
