On Sunday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Igyorov Ward executive committee in Benue State’s Gboko local government area removed Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the party’s national chairman.
Ayu’s suspension comes just four days after the party’s national working committee referred Samuel Ortom, the governor of the state, to the disciplinary committee for an investigation into alleged anti-party conduct.
Senator Ayu was allegedly suspended by the executive for anti-party activities, according to the Ward Secretary Mr. Vangeryina Dooyum, who spoke to reporters in Makurdi on behalf of Kashi Philip, the Ward Chairman.
