The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended its Board of Trustees (BoT) chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara.
Senator Wabara, a pioneer member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Wabara had previously been a member of the National Republican Convention (NRC) and a House of Representative member for Abia State in the 3rd Republic Nigerian National Assembly.
ABN TV gathered that Wabara was suspended by the State Working Committee (SWC) of the party in Abia State. The decision was reportedly taken during a meeting presided over by the State Chairman, Abraham Amah.
When contacted, Amah confirmed the suspension but declined to provide further details.
“Yes, it is true, he has been suspended,” he told ABN TV, adding that more information would be made available in due course.
The development is believed to be part of the ongoing power struggle between loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and former PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Former Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, a known ally of Wike, is said to maintain firm control over the PDP structure in the state.
