The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reversed the suspension of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose and others.
The decision was taken after a meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) which held on Thursday in Abuja.
Recall that the suspended former National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu had suspended some members of the party.
Reversing Ayu’s decision, the NWC, in a statement said “The NWC recognized the imperativeness of a total reconciliation among Party leaders and critical stakeholders for a more cohesive Party in the overall interest of our teeming members and Nigerians in general.
“Consequent upon the above, the NWC reverses the referral of the Governor of Benue State, His Excellency, Dr. Samuel Ortom to the National Disciplinary Committee.”
