The suspension last week by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State from the party in the heat of the controversy surrounding his re-election as chairman of Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) is undemocratic and most un- salutary. Announcing the suspension in Abuja, the National Working Committee (NWC) claimed that it took the action because of Amaechi’s “refusal to obey lawful directive from the Rivers State chapter of the PDP”. But it is obvious that the party suspended the governor without giving him a fair hearing. Even while the PDP appeared silent on the NGF election, its leadership had subtly opposed the desire of Amaechi to re-contest the chairmanship of the forum in deference to the wish of the presidency. Yet, Amaechi defeated his close rival and late entrant into the NGF chairmanship race, Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State by 19 to 16 votes with a greater percentage of his support coming from the governors of opposition parties.
