A press statement signed by the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Debo Ologunagba has it that the party has wielded the big stick against arring members of the party in various states, especially Enugu and Ekiti states, where former Governor of Enugu State and Senator representing Enugu East senatorial district in the upper chamber, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani as a member of the party.

The suspension, which takes effect today, Friday, is based on allegations of anti-party activities levelled against him, going by the statement from the party said.
