The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled the former Governor of Enugu State, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, and five others from its fold.

Also expelled were the son and former aide of the former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, Oluwajomiloju Fayose and Lere Olayinka, respectively.

This was the decision of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the opposition party as announced on Friday, February 10.

Three other allies of Fayose were also expelled.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, in a statement on Friday, stated that the meeting “approved the expulsion of the following individuals from the Party for anti-Party activities and other grave offences in violation of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017)

“Those expelled from the party are: Senator Chimaroke Nnamani – (Enugu State); Hon. Chris Ogbu – (Imo State); Olayinka James Olalere – (Ekiti Central II); Fayose Oluwajomiloju John -(Ekiti Central I); Akerele Oluyinka -(Ekiti North I); and Emiola Adenike Jennifer -(Ekiti South II)

“The expulsion takes effect from today, Friday, February 10, 2023.

“The decision of the NWC is 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 PDP charges all members of our party across the country to remain united and focused on the mission of our Party to Rescue, Rebuild and Redirect our nation from misrule.”

The party’s harmer fell on Nnamani due to his support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
