According to Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the national publicity secretary of the party, the NWC approved the expulsion of the individuals for “anti-Party activities and other grave offences in violation of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017).”
Ologunagba in a statement noted that the expulsion takes effect from Friday, February 10, 2023.
It was gathered that the decision of the NWC came after a recommendation of the National Disciplinary Committee and pursuant to Sections 58 and 59 (1)(g) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).
Moving forward, the PDP charged all its members across the country to remain united and focused on the mission to “Rescue, Rebuild, and Redirect our nation from misrule.”
