Why Bala Mohammed, Turaki, Makinde, Damagum, Bode George were expelled – PDP BoT

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, led by senator Mao Ohuabunwa has explained why disciplinary action was taken against some members of the party.

Ohuabunwa, who is the Chairman of the BoT explained that members whose action threatened the unity, stability, and credibility of the party were sanctioned in line with established resolutions.

He disclosed this during the BoT meeting held in Abuja on Sunday.

Recall that PDP led by acting National Chairman, Mohammed Abdulrahman had expelled Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, ex-National Chairman Umar Damagum, Kabiru Turaki, Bode George, Taofeek Arapaja, and others from the party.

A statement by PDP’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, warned the public against interacting with those responsible for the national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State.

However, Ohuabunwa said they were sanctioned in line with the party’s constitution.

According to the BoT Chairman, the new leadership of PDP will uphold the rule of law and protect the party’s integrity.

He said: “We gather not merely as leaders, but as custodians of the party’s moral compass, entrusted with guiding the PDP through this difficult period with clarity and purpose.

“Recent actions taken within the party reflect our union’s resolve to uphold the rule of law and defend the integrity of our constitution.

“Individuals whose conduct has threatened the unity, stability, and credibility of our party have been sanctioned in line with established resolutions.

“These measures were not taken lightly. They became necessary to protect the institution and our party from internal subversion and to restore confidence among us nationwide.”
