Kogi PDP excos sends party chair on suspension

The executive members of Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have sent the state party Chairman, Sam Uhuoto on suspension.

The suspension on Thursday signed by 30 members of the State Executive Committee (SEC) was contained in a letter dated September 29, 2016 and addressed to Uhuoto.

The members had at a meeting held at the party secretariat in Lokoja, the state capital on Thursday, alleged that Uhuoto has continuously violated the provisions of Chapter 10, Section 58 (1a, b, c, d and h) of the constitution of the party.

Part of the letter read, “The state executive committee of the party wish to bring to your notice that we no longer have confidence in your ability to lead and carry the party to its desired destination due to your constant and deliberate violations of the provisions of our party constitution.

“You have deliberately refused to pass any information to the members of the state executive committee, which has led to lack of party activities in the state, local and ward levels. The party, as it is today in the state under your leadership, has remained stagnant.

“You have constituted yourself into a one-man executive, where you take and implement decisions without following the laid down provisions of the party. After the loss of the party in most of the elections, you didn’t deem it fit to call for meetings to discuss the supplementary election to make the party strategise for those elections and how assistance can be rendered to our various candidates involved in these elections.”
