Breaking News: PDP Suspends Former Commissioner Over Facebook Post
The People Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended Dr. Tony Nwaka, Former Commissioner of Education and member state executive council, for a period of one month.
This was made known by Dr. Nwaka, through a Facebook post titled: PDP SUSPENDS ME FOR ONE MONTH!
According to Nwaka, the suspension was due to a Facebook post he published on 13th of December 2021.
“My ward chairman served me a letter today, suspending me from the People’s Democratic Party for one month, and requesting that I come before a disciplinary panel to explain my recent Facebook post (see attached letter). When I asked which of my various posts that have been found offensive, he showed a copy of my post of 13 December, 2021, titled THIS IS WICKED, SADISTIC AND DEMONIC. STOP IT NOW.”
“He said he was given a photocopy of the post at the party’s state secretariat in Asaba, with the instruction to place me on suspension. He said he read the post over and over and he is still wondering the link it has with a political party or any specific individual. But he had to obey the party’s instruction and issue the suspension letter accordingly.” Nwaka added.
Nwaka said he is thankful he was given a fair hearing to explain himself. He also expresses his readiness to make himself available whenever the panel sits.
