The Ward 5 Etsako East Local Government Area of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended Prince Kassim Afegbua, a former Commissioner in the state, as a member of the party for one month.
In a letter addressed to the state chairman through the Local Government chairman and dated 2nd August 2020, the ward executive evokes section 37 (3) of the party’s constitution 2017 as amended saying it is empowered by the section to suspend any member found guilty of anti-party activity under which Afegbua falls.
