The party “unanimously voted to expel them for anti-party activities and fostering disunity with series of litigation against the interests of the party.”
A chieftain of the PDP, Bode George, “moved the motion for the expulsion of 11 key members,” citing what he described as “activities inconsistent with the party’s collective interest as reasons for the move.”
The chairman of the PDP in Bauchi State “quickly seconded the motion.”
The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Muhammed, “put the vote forward for members to adopt and ratify the expulsion of those involved, and it was unanimously accepted.”
