The National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended Ifeanyi Ubah and queried Senator Buruji Kashamu for alleged anti-party activities. Ubah was questioned for disparaging national officers and those conducting the Anambra State governorship primary. Kashamu, representing Ogun East in the Senate, was queried for his activities in the South-West zone of the party. Ubah chose not to answer the query, leading to his suspension for one month and referring the matter to the National Disciplinary Committee for further action. The party's spokesperson, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, stated that the matter had been referred to the party's disciplinary committee, which is expected to brief the party in two weeks. Ubah dismissed the allegation that he instigated the police against some PDP members in Ogun State, stating that he never reported any of these people to the police nor did he have course to instigate the police against them.
