 PDP Suspends Kaduna State Secretary Over Alleged Anti-party Activities


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State has suspended its State Secretary, Sa’idu Adamu, over allegations of gross misconduct and anti-party activities.


The suspension was announced in a statement issued on Monday in Kaduna by the State Publicity Secretary, Maria Dogo.


According to the statement, the decision was taken by the State Working Committee (SWC) and later ratified by the State Executive Committee (SEC) during a meeting held at the party’s secretariat in Kaduna.


The party explained that the action was in line with Articles 58(1)(h) and 57(3) of the PDP Constitution (2017 as amended).


Adamu’s suspension, which takes immediate effect, will last for one month pending the outcome of investigations and further decisions by the party’s leadership.


During the suspension period, the embattled secretary is barred from participating in all party activities at any level.


“The PDP wishes to assure its members and the general public that the party remains resolutely committed to upholding internal discipline, fairness, and justice under the able leadership of the State Chairman, Edward Masha,” the statement read.


It added that the ongoing efforts of the State Working Committee are aimed at strengthening the party’s structures and ensuring transparency and accountability among members.
