Former Governor of Enugu state and Senator representing Enugu East, Chimaroke Nnamani has reacted to his expulsion by the Peoples Democratic Party.
Addressing reporters on Friday, February 10, Nnamani described his expulsion as a nullity, adding that the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu-led NWC that it has no power to expel him from the party.
He stated that the expulsion process did not conform with due procedures of the PDP’s constitution.
Nnamani said that he was neither invited nor given the opportunity to be heard before the decision against him was taken.
He said that going by article 57(6) of the PDP constitution, the NWC lacks the requisite powers to entertain any question of discipline against him to the extent of suspending or expelling him from the party.
Nnamani said the proceeding and decision reached at the NWC meeting on 20 Jan was both illegal and a nullity and urged the party to reconsider the action.
”Your proposed disciplinary hearing of Feb. 8 is wholly erected on illegality and your committee equally has no powers under the Constitution of the party to invite me for the purpose of entertaining any disciplinary matter against me,” Nnamani said
