The PDP South-South Zonal Executive Committee has suspended its Zonal Secretary, Chief Felix Omemu, for one month over alleged misconduct and unauthorised media statements discrediting the ZEC meeting held in Benin on Saturday.

Omemu had earlier issued a statement in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State declaring the meeting convened by the party’s South-South Vice Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, as illegal.

He argued that, according to the PDP constitution, a ZEC meeting requires approval from the Zonal Working Committee, which, he claimed, had neither deliberated nor agreed to convene such a meeting.

At the South-South Zonal Executive Committee meeting in Benin, Edo State, factional Speaker of the River State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, moved the motion for Omemu’s suspension.

The motion was seconded by member representing Ogoja/Yala constituency in the House of Representatives, Godwin Offiono.

Amaewhule accused Omemu of misconduct, breach of trust, and fostering division among members.
