The recent development sparked a heated confrontation on Tuesday between the two factions at the party’s national headquarters in Wadata Plaza, Abuja, where both sides had arranged concurrent NEC and Board of Trustees meetings.
During its meeting at the national headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, the factional NEC also dissolved the state executive councils in Oyo, Bauchi, Zamfara, Yobe, Lagos, and Ekiti, instructing the formation of caretaker committees and the organisation of new congresses.
A communiqué from the meeting, delivered by National Secretary Senator Sam Anyanwu, stated, “NEC received the report from the Acting National Chairman, Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed, outlining breaches of Articles 58(1) and 59(1), which included anti-party activities, disobedience to court orders, and behaviour that brought the party into disrepute.
“NEC approved the initiation of disciplinary actions against the following individuals: Adolphus Wabara, Olabode George, Ben N. Obi, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, Bala Mohammed, Oluseyi Makinde, Dauda Lawal, Taofiq Arapaja, Setonji Koshoedo, Okechukwu Obiechina Daniel, Woyengikuro Daniel, Mohammed Kadade Suleiman, Emmanuel Ogidi, Sumaila Adamu Burga, Umar Sani, Udom Emmanuel, and Emmanuel Enorden.”
