PDP nullifies Metuh’s suspension, says party still has confidence in his ability

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has said it has nullified the alleged suspension of the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh.
The party said this in a statement by its National Legal Adviser, Mr. Victor Kwon, on Thursday in Abuja.

The party asserted that it still has confidence on Metuh’s ability and actions that had stabilized the party so far.
The statement reads, “The NWC restates its implicit confidence in the National Publicity Secretary and expresses satisfaction with his commitment toward the progress and development of our great party at all levels.
“The NWC of the PDP notes with concern, misleading reports that a certain group in Anambra State, unknown to our party, has purportedly suspended Chief Olisa Metuh.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the NWC reiterates that Chief Olisa Metuh is a member of the National Executive Committee and as such, can only be disciplined by NEC.
“He can be disciplined in accordance with Sections 57(7) and 59(3) of the PDP Constitution 2012 (as Amended), and that is in the event that a need for such arises.”
It added that, “the purported suspension is therefore a nullity.’
