The Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State has suspended its Chairman, Col. Sam Inokoba (retd.), over alleged financial impropriety.

Inokoba was suspended by the members of the State Working Committee on Wednesday for alleged misconduct and diversion of N40m gift provided for the party by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke.

It was learnt that the decision to suspend Inokoba was taken on Tuesday after deliberation by members of the State Executive Council.

Publicity Secretary of the PDP in the state, Mr. Osom Makebre, who confirmed the suspension, declined to give further details.

He however explained that the decision of the SEC had been forwarded to the national leadership of the party for ratification.

Makbere said in accordance with the party’s constitution, it was expected that the Deputy Chairman of the party, King Serena Dokubo-Spiff, would take over the running of the party within the next 30 days.

A source at the meeting said the suspended chairman had been invited to appear before the enlarged SEC but that he refused and reportedly travelled to Abuja.

According to the source, SEC members deliberated on a five-count charge of misconduct levelled against Inokoba.

Inokoba was also accused of refusing to join in the ongoing campaigns for candidates of the Bayelsa Central Senatorial district because the candidates were not his choice.

The party source, who craved anonymity, said, “He has since neglected to carry out his official duties as party chairman. He sponsored aspirants during the party primaries instead of engaging in neutrality as the chairman of the party.

“He also publicly, in the presence of party members, ordered his security aides and thugs to beat a party member due to dispute over party primaries materials.

“He also engaged in promoting factions within the state PDP and engaged in financial dishonesty with funds provided by members of the PDP from the state and national level.”

But reacting to the suspension, media aide to the suspended chairman, Mr. Nelson Agadi, described the suspension as illegal and “a sponsored action.”

“The suspension is a lie that cannot hold and it is a violation of the Section 10 sub section 7 of the party constitution,” Agadi said.

Chai!!!! There is God o. All this money they are sharing

They will vomit all these monies when Buhari becomes president else they will all rot in jail.. Amen.

Just few weeks away, their end shall be announced to the world and they shall return all our stolen loot. Little wonder GEJ, in his words aptly put it thus; "stealing is not corruption" or "how much did Jim Nwobodo steal, that GMB sent him to prison?"

General Muhammadu BUHARI shall bring an end to this rubbish!

Shaaaarap there!
Which political party did not share money during election?

APC also gave money to their political parties. Nobody is a saint in this nation.
If ur own has not come to limelight doesn't meet u are clean.

2015 or "Operation who occupies Creek house "tins.
The political masquerades will soon remove their masks.The only sore point is that henceforth, government business will take back seat.

ok

This people are heartless. 40million as gift. Chia.....

Change is near!

Please is this Stealing or Corruption?

Thief among thieves

Hehe

N40million?

And here we were criticizing HRH the Emir of Kano for donating money....

Oh well...one rule for some , another rule for others......

The man only stole.
He his not corrupt.
GEJ

No they won't.

This is Nigeria.

We happen to have lots of resources....so we think that we can loot. Unlike many first world countries which have limited resources and have to work for every penny they make....which is why they have near- zero tolerance for corruption.

So long as we have the idea that we are a rich and prosperous nation...because we produce oil(we are not...and our oil revenues begin to look lean when it is calculated per capita)....we shall forever loot. Because....the money is going to keep coming. I hope the oil price goes down to $10 per barrel....that way we would learn to work for our money.(and become a developed nation in the process).

Thieves

It is a pitiable bismal that a microscopic few are enjoying the abundant natural resources belonging to the entire citizens of the great entity named Nigeria.

Please don't mind my write up... Am just perplexed and flabbergasted by the high-handed behaviour of some myopic people in the name of siphoning the nation's wealth.

40million naira gift? For what na?
This woman is beginning to steal too much

??
?

They(PDP) nefa see anything yet, internal crises go rock their boat sotey, all man go decamp,

Vote Geneal Muhammadu Buhari for President!

If punch said it. I don't believe it until it's confirmed by another independent news agency. Punch has this drive of giving fabricated news report and feel they're untouchable. That's why obanikoro decided to sue them.

If it's true, then that's their business and more interested in embarrassing buhari on election day...*goodluck thumb*

...

How much does she get paid actually. ...


anyways. .

give ur homes a face lift. ..get affordable blinds and wooden fittings.

This frog-eyed woman with corruption. Why is everyone in the present administration so corrupt? This is getting irritating.

all of em are thieves

They only pretended, like they care.
To them, N40m is like no money.
GEJ and his other Presidents are bent on stealling, since is not corruption.

If this story were the result of the reporter's naivety I would sympathise with him, but since it is almost certainly the outcome of partisan bias and willful paranoia, I cannot but express my disgust at the drivel that someone has spewed on this forum so early in the morning. For those folks who believe the fiction that Tinubu's APC will soon usher in what they have misnamed "change", I will not disturb their hallucinations. Let them enjoy their fantasy while it lasts, for they will soon wake up to reality.
