A member of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Board of Trustees, Bode George, has stated that former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, may face expulsion from the party due to his recent actions. This revelation was made during an interview on Arise Television, where George responded to questions regarding the party’s internal affairs.

According to George, Lamido’s decision to not attend the last National Executive Committee meeting is a significant issue. The NEC meeting is a crucial level of party hierarchy, with its decisions expected to be followed by all members. Lamido’s absence from this meeting, coupled with his subsequent request for a form on the last day of submission, has raised concerns among party leaders.

George emphasized that Lamido, as a founding father of the party, should be aware of the procedures and respect the rules. The party’s organizers are working to ensure a seamless convention, and Lamido’s actions may be seen as disruptive to this process. George noted that all zonal members attended the NEC meeting, except for Lamido, which further highlights the gravity of his actions.

The Peoples Democratic Party is one of the major political parties in Nigeria, and its internal dynamics can have significant implications for the country’s political landscape. As the party prepares for its convention, the actions of its members, particularly those in leadership positions, are being closely watched.

The possible expulsion of Lamido from the party would be a significant development, given his status as a founding father and former governor. The party’s leadership will need to carefully consider the implications of such a decision and ensure that it is in line with the party’s constitution and rules.

For now, the situation remains fluid, with the party’s leadership expected to take further action in the coming days. The outcome of this situation will likely have significant repercussions for the party and its members, and will be closely monitored by political observers and stakeholders.
