Live free or die. This is what our PDP constitution says; CHAPTER X DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE 57. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, there shall be a Disciplinary Committee of the Party at every level consisting of seven members with proven integrity, one of whom shall have a legal background. (2) The Disciplinary Committee shall be appointed by the appropriate Executive Committee of the Party. (3) The Working Committee, at any level of the Party, and the Executive Committee (at the Ward Level) may, after preliminary hearings, suspend a member from the Party for a period not exceeding one month, during which period the member so suspended shall lose his right of contest any election, and shall be referred to the appropriate Disciplinary Committee. (4) Where an allegation is made against a member of the Party, the Disciplinary Committee shall inform the member in writing of the allegations made against him and the place and time of hearing the case against him or her. (5) A member who appears before a Disciplinary Committee shall be given opportunity to present his case orally or in writing either in person or through a counsel of his choice and shall be allowed to call witnesses. (6) Any decision taken against a member who has not been informed of the charges against him or has not been given any opportunity of defending himself shall be null and void. (7) Notwithstanding any other provision relating to discipline, no Executive Committee at any level, except the National Executive Committee, shall entertain any question of discipline as may relate or Page 75 of 85 concern a member of the National Executive Committee, Deputy Governors or members of the National Assembly. Provided that nothing in this Constitution shall preclude or invalidate any complaint submitted through the National Working Committee to the National Executive Committee concerning any person whatsoever. peoplesdemocraticparty.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PDP-CONSTITUTION-2012-AMENDMENT1.pdf
