The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lifted the suspension placed on the minority leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu and six others.
Daily trust recalled that the seven lawmakers were suspended by the party after accepting minority leadership positions given to them by the House speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, against the choices sent in by the party on July 5, 2019.
In a statement, the PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said that the National Working Committee (NWC) noted that the lifting of the suspension was based on the recommendations of the various committee set up on issues relating to the suspension.
The statement reads: “The party charges the lawmakers to be loyal to the party and obey its directives in line with its constitution and vision of its founding fathers.
“In the same vein, the party maintains that it continues to recognize the PDP Caucus of the House of Representatives as led by Hon. Kingsley Chinda and charged all members elected on the platform of the party to continue to participate in the activities of the Caucus.
“The PDP urges the lawmakers to ensure a stronger and more viable opposition that speaks with one voice in the legislative house.
“Furthermore, the party directs the Harmonization Committee led by Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal to further meet with our members in the House of Representatives with a view to ensuring harmonious relationship among them.”
According to the statement, the members are Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, Hon. Wole Oke, Hon. Lynda Ikpeazu, Hon. Anayo Edwin, Hon. Gideon Gwani, Hon. Toby Okechukwu and Hon. Adekoya Addul-majid.
