The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday expelled former Enugu governor and serving senator, Chimaroke Nnamani, from the party.
It was gathered that Nnamani, who is also a PDP candidate for Enugu East Senatorial District in the forthcoming general elections, has been publicly campaigning for presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, which prompted his earlier suspension.
The Nigeria’s main opposition party also announced that it has booted out allies of former Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State from the party.
Both Fayose and those in his political camp recently failed to show up at the presidential campaign rally of Atiku Abubakar in Ekiti State.
A statement signed by Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of PDP made available to Franktalknow said the expulsion is with immediate effect.
