The senator maintained that it was wrong for Ayu to rely on section 57(7) of the PDP constitution before he could be suspended because he had relied on the same section to sack prominent stakeholders of the PDP, including him.
On Friday, February 10, the Ayu-led leadership of the PDP expelled Nnamani over alleged anti-party activities.
