The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled its members who recently defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Naija News reports that the spokesperson of the PDP Elders Caucus and Chairmen in 20 local government areas, Segun Edwards, communicated the expulsion.
Edwards said a stakeholders’ meeting made up of elders of the party and chairmen of the party in the 20 local government areas of the state called a meeting to discuss the outcome of the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja last week.
According to him, all PDP members who openly aligned with the opposition coalition party, the ADC, were immediately expelled from the party.
He stated that the decision, amongst other resolution, were taken at the enlarged stakeholders meeting.
PDP local government Chairmen were also directed to commence preparations for the planned various congresses of the party, from Local Governments to the National Convention, scheduled for between September and November this year.
PDP Elders Caucus and Chairmen in 20 LGAs slammed some members who openly aligned themselves with ADC.
The PDP stated that they have desecrated the principles of the party by their open declaration for ADC, while still being members of the PDP.
The enlarged Stakeholders assembly therefore moved the motion for the expulsion of all the members, who openly aligned themselves with the coalition, and all the elders voted for their expulsion.
