The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled a former governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, and six others from the party.
The others expelled are Chris Ogbu from Imo State, Ajijola Oladimeji, Olayinka Olalere, Akerele Oluyinka, and Emiola Jennifer, Oluwajomiloju Fayose, all from Ekiti State.
Oluwajomiloju Fayose is the son of a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose.
This was contained in a statement by the PDP spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba, on Friday in Abuja.
Mr Ologunagba said the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party at its 566th meeting on Friday approved their expulsion for anti-party activities and other grave offences in violation of its constitution.
He also said the “decision of the NWC is a sequel to the recommendation of the National Disciplinary Committee and pursuant to Sections 58 and 59 (1)(g) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).”
The party had earlier on 20 January suspended them alongside Funso Ayeni and Babatunde Ajayi, also from Ekiti State.
