EDO state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday, July 3, 2021 said it has lifted the suspension slammed on its state party chairman, Hon Tony Aziegbemi.
The embattled chairman was suspended shortly after an open letter was written to the national chairman of the party where among other things queried the non composition of a cabinet by Governor Godwin Obaseki over six months after his inauguration for second term and also alleged that Obaseki was planning to dissolve the leadership of the party from the ward to the State level
A statement by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Chris Nehikhare reads:
“The State Working Committee of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State has, after its working committee meeting called to deliberate on the report of the Investigative Committee set up to investigate the allegations of gross misconduct against its Chairman, Hon. Tony Aziegbemi, has exonerated and acquitted him.
“The suspension has therefore been lifted.
“Consequently, the Chairman, Hon. Tony Aziegbemi will resume his office with immediate effect.
“We thank all party members, supporters and leaders for their cooperation and support during this period of self audit.”
