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?”
