Awaji-inomek Abiante should be, and is hereby suspended from the party for not only promoting factions at the ward level but also belonging to a group under the guise of the party: not being a group provided for in the partyโs constitution. Which action is in breach of Sec. 58(l)(j) of the partyโs constitution.

Thereby, breaching section 58(l)(k) of the partyโs constitution.
โWe are committed to the party and determined to weed out bad eggs who are acting as agents of opposition political parties to weaken our party no mater how highly placed and to ensure that our ward remains PDP irrespective of the inducement and threat.โ
