PDP suspends Ebonyi chairman for alleged anti-party activities

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended the party’s chairman in Ebonyi State, Okorie Tochukwu Okoroafor, for alleged anti-party activities.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, who announced the suspension in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said Okorie was suspended after an extensive review of his activities in the party.

The party had last week suspended the former Enugu State Governor, Chimaraoke Nnamani, and eight others for alleged anti-party activities.
