Deji Adeyanju, a socio-political activist, has called for the sacking of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Adeyanju said those ready for the work of the opposition should be elected as replacements to prevent the country from becoming a one-party state.

The public affairs commentator was reacting to the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu as APC National Chairman and Iyiola Omisore as the party’s National Secretary.

Tweeting, Adeyanju wrote: “The NWC of PDP should also be sacked following the resignation of key members of APC leadership. New set of people who are ready to do opposition should be brought into the PDP, if not, Nigeria will become a one-party state.”

Over the weekend, reports emerged of Adamu’s resignation.

His resignation was confirmed by the new APC National Working Committee (NWC) after its closed-door meeting at the party’s secretariat in Abuja on Monday.
