The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled a member, Itodo Ubolo, in the Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
In a statement issued on Sunday by Hon. Isah Alhassan, who serves as the party’s chairman in Ofu Local Government and is acting on behalf of the ward chairmen, executive members, and key stakeholders of the party, it was announced that Ubolo is barred from being a member of the party.
Alhassan accused Ubolo of engaging in activities against the party before the 2023 November 11 gubernatorial election in Kogi State, highlighting that he acted independently to further his own interests while working for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
He cautioned Ubolo to cease pretending to be a member of the PDP with the intention of gaining easy recognition in preparation for the upcoming party Congress in Kogi State.
According to him, “You have never been a consistent politician. A man who has changed four political parties within the space of four months.
“Don’t come with your co-travelers to disrupt the peace we are having in Ofu PDP since you and your unstable politicians left the party to join the All Progressive Grand Alliance, (APGA), Accord Party, APC and Social Democratic Party, (SDP) within four months.
“Just because of the recent Court of Appeal ruling affirming the election of Governor Usman Ododo as the winner of the November 11 Governorship election in Kogi State, you have now decided to move from SDP where you were made the Director General logistics and finance to start organizing PDP meetings in your hotel.
“You (Itodo Ubolo) and your co travelers are on a mission to disrupt our party’s upcoming Congress by fielding some of your members to purchase nomination forms to contest various positions across Kogi East.
“I Hon Isah Alhassan, the Divisional Chairman of Ofu Local Government and the entire Local Government Executives of our great party, PDP, say no to your plan.”
