The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has suspended Governor Aliyu Wamakko from the party, citing serial disobedience to party orders and contempt for authorities of the PDP.
The suspension of the governor was effected by the National Working Committee, NWC at its 338th meeting yesterday, a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh stated.
Wamakko is the second governor to be suspended in two weeks by the ruling party following penultimate Monday’s suspension of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of RiversState. Wamakko is a strong ally of Governor Amaechi and had recently been touted as Amaechi’s political soul.
PDP sources said, yesterday, that Wamakko had serially flouted party orders and instructions and had continuously flouted invitations issued by the NWC the latest being an invitation to attend yesterday’s meeting.
However, sources disclosed yesterday that Governor Wamakko travelled out of the country on Tuesday, a day before the NWC meeting. A PDP source, however, pooh-poohed that excuse saying that the governor travelled out of the country after he got the invitation from the NWC. “We have evidence of the receipt of the summons so, who does he think he is deceiving?”
