Edo PDP Suspends Kassim Afegbua Over Allegations Of Anti-Party Activities

Top chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kassim Afegbua, has been suspended by the Edo State chapter of the party over alleged anti-party activities.

Afegbua was said to have erred by allegedly working against the mutual interest of the party as regards to the Edo State governorship election.

A statement released by the state’s PDP Press Secretary, Chris Osa Nehikhare, disclosed that Afegbua will serve a suspension of one month, effective from August 2, 2020.

According to Nehikhare, Mr. Tony Aziegbemi, the PDP Chairman in Edo State, has further directed the Local Government Chairman of Etsako East, where Afegbua hails from, to set up a disciplinary committee to investigate the allegations.

However, he did not state whether Afegbua would be given a fair hearing after constituting the disciplinary committee.
