PDP suspends former Niger Governor, Babangida Aliyu

The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger state has suspended former Governor, Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu over allegations of anti-party activities leading to cracks in the party.

The former governor was suspended during an emergency Stakeholders’ meeting of Chachanga local Area in Minna on Monday.

The PDP accused the former governor of supporting the APC in the 2015 election.

The party also accused him of not attending meetings and that he is working to disintegrate the party.

The meeting was attended by eight ward Chairmen of the party out of the 11 wards, elders and party faithful from Chanchaga LGA.

Reacting to the suspension, one of the Media Aides of Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, Mr. Bala Bitrus said that the suspension is laughable as the state PDP does not have an executive in place to approve such suspension.
