The Peoples Democratic Party has suspended its Vice Chairman, North East, Alhaji Girigiri Lawal, for one month.
The decision to suspend Lawal was taken by the party’s National Working Committee.
The suspension, beginning from Friday, was made public by the PDP National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh.
Metuh, in a statement, said Lawal breached Articles 51(1) (b) (c) (h) of the constitution of the party.
According to Metuh, the action of the NWC was in furtherance of the resolve of the leadership of the party to entrench discipline at all levels.
He said in the statement: “Following the breach of the constitution of the party by Alhaji Girigiri, he was invited by the National Working Committee for preliminary hearing in accordance with Article 57(3) of the constitution of the PDP.
“After the preliminary hearing, the National Working Committee resolved to suspend Alhaji Girigiri Lawal for a period of one month with effect from October 12, 2012.”
