According to a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday by Mr Olisa Metuh, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, the suspension takes immediate effect.

It added that Lawal had earlier been invited by the party`s NWC for preliminary hearing on an alleged violation of the party’s constitution.
“After the preliminary hearing, the NWC resolved to suspend Lawal for a period of one month with effect from Oct. 12.
“The matter has been referred to the National Disciplinary Committee of our party for further action,’’ the statement said.
