The South-South Zonal Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended its Zonal Secretary, Felix Omemu, for one month over alleged misconduct and unauthorized public statements.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Omemu had previously dismissed the South-South ZEC meeting held in Benin, Edo State, as illegal. In a statement from Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, he argued that the meeting, convened by South-South Vice Chairman, Dan Orbih, lacked approval from the Zonal Working Committee and was therefore unconstitutional.

During the ZEC meeting in Benin, Martin Amaewhule, the factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, moved the motion for Omemu’s suspension, which was seconded by Hon. Godwin Offiono, a House of Representatives member representing Ogoja/Yala constituency.

Amaewhule stated, “Chief Felix Omemu has been suspended, and a disciplinary committee has been set up to investigate his actions. His conduct was unlawful and aimed at causing division within the party.”

Following Omemu’s suspension, PDP Zonal Legal Adviser, George Turnah, was appointed as Acting Zonal Secretary.

Orbih Applauds ZEC’s Decision

Dan Orbih praised the committee’s decision, emphasizing that it was a necessary step to restore discipline and strengthen party unity.

“This action is crucial to prevent disruptions by leaders and members seeking to destabilize the party,” Orbih remarked.

The meeting was attended by the Zonal Chairman, Senators, and House of Representatives members from five South-South states, except Akwa Ibom State.
