The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the suspension of four members for their involvement in anti-party activities during the recent Ward Congresses held on July 27, 2024.

In a press release issued by the Benue State Secretariat, the PDP detailed the actions leading to the suspensions. According to the statement, the accused members were implicated in the snatching of election materials, which led to the non-conduct of congresses in several local government areas, including Buruku, Gboko, Ushongo, Guma, Tarka, Kwande, and Ohimini.

The suspended members are:
1. H.E. Samuel Ortom
2. Hon. Isaac Mfo
3. Hon. Azua Ashongo
4. Hon. Bemgba Iortyom

These actions have been classified as anti-party activities. As a consequence, the members have been suspended for one month initially and referred to the State Disciplinary Committee for further adjudication.

The PDP emphasized its commitment to upholding the integrity of its processes and ensuring that such disruptions do not occur in the future.
