April 18, (THEWILL) – The Gombe State chapter of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has expelled former Governor Danjuma Goje, over alleged anti-party activities.
The party also suspended the lawmaker representing Gombe South in the National Assembly, Bulus K Amos and a House of Representatives member, Yunusa Ahmad Abubakar, from the party.
Goje is a lawmaker representing Gombe Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
Announcing his expulsion after a closed-door meeting by the Kashere Ward Executives, the Ward Chairman, Tanimu Abdullahi, said the action was in line with Article 21 subsection (1), (2) and (3) of the party constitution as amended.
He said Goje was earlier warned through a letter of his anti-party activities.
Abdullahi added that when Goje was invited by the five-man committee to investigate his activities during the last general elections, he refused to honour the invitation.
“During the election, some of Goje’s supporters were caught warning people not to vote for any other person in APC other than Senator Danjuma Goje. We warned them to stop their actions but they did not heed our warnings.
“Consequently, I, on behalf of the entire members of Kashere ward, hereby expelled Senator Danjuma Goje from the party,” he said.
Also, the party, in a statement by Gombe Publicity Secretary, Moses Kyari, said Amos was suspended by the ward executives of the APC in Bambam Ward of Balanga Local Government.
According to him, Senator Amos was suspended over anti-party activities during the general elections.
