Court Upholds Iyorchia Ayu’s Suspension As PDP Nat’l Chairman

A High Court in Benue on Friday upheld the suspension of Iyorchia Ayu as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Ayu was in March suspended by his Nyorov council ward exco over failure to pay dues, abruptly ending his reign as the PDP National Chairman.

The Igorov ward executive committee in the Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State had on Sunday suspended Ayu for alleged anti-party activities and for failing to pay his membership dues.

In the aftermath of the suspension, the Benue State court restrained Ayu from parading himself as the chairman of the party following a suit filed by a former aide to the state governor, Conrad Utaan.
