PDP Expels Powerful Chieftain Over Anti-party Activities

Hon. Ibrahim Shehu Bakauye, a 2022 governorship aspirant in Zamfara State, was expelled from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday for alleged anti-party activities.

Bakauye ran for the Zamfara PDP ticket in the 2022 governorship primaries alongside others.

He filed a lawsuit against the party after losing to Dauda Lawal in the May 25, 2022 primaries.

However, in an expulsion letter, members of Bakauye’s constituency PDP executive, the Mayana ward, Gusau Local Government Area, accused him of gross indiscipline and colluding with the opposition to undermine the party.
