Amid a brewing crisis, the Social Democratic Party National Working Committee has suspended its national chairman, Shehu Gabam, and two other members over allegations of gross financial misconduct.
The spokesperson of the party, Araba Rufus Aiyenigba, disclosed this in a statement to newsmen today.
The other members suspended are Nze Nnadi Clarkson, National Auditor, and Uchechukwu Chukwuma, National Youth Leader of the party.
According to the party, the suspension of the trio takes effect immediately.
“The decision followed a resolution of a meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC), where overwhelming evidence was presented linking the suspended officials to a series of unauthorised financial transactions, personal enrichment schemes, and movement of funds from the party’s accounts without necessary approvals of the NWC,” the statement reads.
This comes after it was reported that protesters pulled down SDP’s National Secretariat gate in Abuja.
