A statement released by the party’s national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in Abuja on Tuesday night, January 2, expressed the party’s consideration of the move as an insult that may be visited with decisive sanctions.
He said the PDP is an organised political party, and its strict adherence to the constitution and the rule of law would not allow the suspension to stay. He said this is because individuals or groups would not be allowed to violate the party's constitution.

Why PDP NWC rejects suspension of Ondo state chairman
Ologunagba said the suspension of the Ondo state chairman was an illegal act carried out in defiance of the PDP's constitution. He added that the NWC would not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary action to protect the stability and sanctity of the party's constitution.
His statement reads in part:
“The NWC states that Mr. Fatai Adams remains the Chairman of the Ondo State Chapter of the PDP and charges all leaders, critical stakeholders, members and supporters of our Party in Ondo State and the nation to disregard the purported suspension."
The NWC urged all Party members in Ondo State to remain united and continue to work together in the overall interest of our Party and the people.
