The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially confirmed the dissolution of the state executive committees for Ebonyi and Ekiti States.

The PDP made the announcement late on Wednesday via a press statement signed by the party’s spokesperson, Hon. Debo Ologunagba on its official Twitter handle.

“After extensive deliberations and consultations, the National Working Committee (NWC) hereby approves the dissolution of the Executive Committees of the Ebonyi and Ekiti States Chapters of our great Party with immediate effect.” Ologunagba stated.

“The PDP charges all leaders, critical stakeholders and teeming members of our Party in Ebonyi and Ekiti States respectively to remain united and focused on the task ahead,” he added.

Back then, Ologunagba had said that the suspension was as a result of recent developments in the South-Western state.

He further said the party’s NWC took the decision after careful deliberations and extensive consultations on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC) and pursuant to Sections 29(2)(b) and 31(2)(e) of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017).
