PDP expels two members in Gombe

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State has dismissed two of its senior members, Hon. Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki and Hon. Usman Aliyu Garry, for alleged anti-party activities and serious misconduct. The decision to expel the two officials came after a thorough disciplinary process conducted by the party's Disciplinary Committee.

The committee's findings revealed that both individuals violated the PDP constitution, specifically sections 58(1)(a), (b), (h) and (j), which pertain to misconduct and actions detrimental to the party. The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the expulsions in a statement. He emphasized that the disciplinary proceedings adhered to the principles of fair hearing as outlined in Section 57(6) of the party's constitution and Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution.

As per Section 59(1)(j) of the party's charter, both expellees are now considered outsiders to the organization and no longer possess any membership rights or privileges. The PDP underscored that no member, irrespective of their standing, is exempt from the party's laws and disciplinary framework. The party has urged its members to uphold loyalty, discipline, and commitment to its principles, urging them to unite and reinforce the PDP's foundations.
