The Southwest zonal office of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday upturned the suspension of the Chairman of the party in Ibadan North East Local Government of Oyo State, Taiwo Iyiola, over alleged anti-party activities.  It said the suspension of Iyiola by the State Working Committee (SWC) was arbitrarily without any preliminary hearing as demanded by the party’s constitution.  PDP spokesman in Oyo State Akeem Olatunji said on the phone that the Zonal Secretary, Daisi Akintan, who signed the letter reinstating the suspended chairman, lacked power to act without the consent of the Zonal Chairman, Dayo Ogunbenro. He said the purported letter was null and void.

Zimbabwe Pleads With Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ To Support Its Commonwealth Readmission Agenda

Zimbabwe's Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr Sibusiso Moyo has appealed to Australia to support the country's Commonwealth readmission agenda.

In 2003, Zimbabwe became the third country after South Africa in 1961 and Pakistan in 1971 to voluntarily withdraw its membership from the Commonwealth.

The late Robert Mugabe, then president of Zimbabwe, initiated a voluntary withdrawal following the country's suspension by the Commonwealth troika to which former prime minister of Australia, Mr John Howard was a part.

In an article published in an Australian-based publication, the Spectator, the foreign Affairs Minister appealed to Commonwealth member states to support the Zimbabwean agenda. He said:

He added that bilateral agreements between the two countries could yield more positive results if both countries were members of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth consists of 53 member states, nearly all of them former colonies of the British Empire.
