The committee ratified yesterday the expulsion of a former member of the House of Representatives, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, by Ward 2, Oredo local government area, on Tuesday.
The nine-member SWC, including the party chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, and seven others, took the decision. At the same time, Tony Anenih Jr. joined the meeting virtually.
Aziegbemi said the trio were expelled for anti-party activities, noting that they had shown that they were no longer in the PDP and there was no need to keep them in the party.
He said the PDP would not be affected by their expulsion in the state’s September 21 governorship election, adding that the party was well positioned to win the polls.
