A member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George , has revealed that former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, risks expulsion from the party.
Naija News reports that Lamido had threatened to sue the PDP over failure to secure the form for the National Chairmanship position.
However, Bode George, while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television on Thursday, said Lamido must respect the party rules, stressing he was absent during the last National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party.
He said, “Lamido knows the procedure. He’s one of the founding fathers of this party. He didn’t attend the last National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting.
“In terms of hierarchy, NEC is the next level to the national convention. Decisions at NEC are expected to be followed to the bone.
“Lamido didn’t attend that meeting. Now, at the end of the meeting, the date for the collection and returning of the forms was stated. And he went to the party’s headquarters on the last day to return the forms.
“Lamido is not a young man, he’s my friend and a founding father of this party. I don’t know all this shenanigans going on all over the place.
“What the organisers of the convention are trying to do is ensure a seamless convention. All zonal members attended the meeting except Lamido.
“Yet, on the day of the final submission of forms, he just appeared and demanded a form. He must respect the rules.”
