Politics indeed is a game of interest. Politicians in Nigeria only pitch their tent were it favours them, as the saying goes “Anywhere belle face na front”.
Betrayal has become an integral element of politics in Nigeria, and political parties frown bitterly at it.
Recently, as part of the 2023 elections, some politicians turned their backs on their party and the party is not happy about it.
Ayodele Fayose falls under this category of politicians.
Fayose is a former Governor of Ekiti State and a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Although he had said he was quitting partisan politics to become an elder stateman.
Suspension
Consequently, the PDP has suspended Fayose.
A former Senate President/Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim was also suspended.
The party also suspended Professor Dennis Ityavyar and Dr. Aslam Aliyu.
Ortom’s Case
Samuel Ortom’s case seem to be different, hence the party referred him to its Disciplinary Committee.
Ortom is the Governor of Benue State.
He is to face the committee for alleged anti-party activities.
This development was contained in a statement on Thursday signed by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.
Read the full statement below:
“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has after very extensive review of the affairs of our Party in the country and pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017) referred the Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom to the National Disciplinary Committee over his reported involvement in anti-party activities.
