Members of the Peoples Democratic Party’s National Disciplinary Committee, led by former Foreign Affairs Minister Tom Ikimi, have received assurances that all petitions will be considered impartially and resolved forcefully.

The PDP has experienced internal strife both during and during the 2023 presidential election.

Several members have called for disciplinary action after accusing one another of working against the party’s goals.

As a result, on August 21, the PDP National Working Committee formed a disciplinary committee, whose members would be able to file petitions, hear arguments from both the accused and the petitioners, and then provide recommendations to the National Executive Committee.

Ikimi expressed optimism in a statement released on Saturday, saying that the committee’s impartiality, resoluteness, and fairness will satisfy the aspirations of its many members around the nation and help the party regain momentum.

A portion of the statement said as follows: “The NDC hereby assures the general membership of the party, including the PDP leadership and all stakeholders, of its preparedness to deal with all complaints/petitions fairly, firmly, and transparently, and all in accordance with, and obedience to, the dictates of the PDP constitution which has clearly spelt out the ‘Offences and Sanctions’.” The NDC is set to begin its sitting/hearing and looks forward to receiving petitions and complaints from

In order to address the demands of our thronging membership across the country and the suffering Nigerian people, who is currently in dire need of an adequate National Leadership, we hope that our fairness, firmness, and decisiveness would restore the hope and confidence of our great party.

“Therefore, we implore all PDP members and leaders to provide the committee with the assistance and collaboration required to effectively complete its task.”
