The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled Jomiloju, son of former governor of Ekiti State, Dr Ayodele Fayose and Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu East).
A PDP chieftain from Imo State, Chris Ogbu also got expelled.
Four other party members from Ekiti were also expelled. They are Ajijola Lateef Oladimeji (Ekiti Central), Olayinka James Olalere (Ekiti Central II), Akerele Oluyinka (Ekiti North I) and Emiola Adenike Jennifer (Ekiti South II).
A statement on Friday signed by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the party chieftains were expelled “for anti party activities and other grave offences in violation of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017)”.
Ologunagba said the decision to expel the affected members was taken at the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) on Friday.
The statement said: “The decision of the NWC is sequel to the recommendation of the National Disciplinary Committee and pursuant to Sections 58 and 59 (1)(g) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).
“The PDP charges all members of our party across the country to remain united and focused on the mission of our party to rescue, rebuild and redirect our nation from misrule”.
The party said the expulsion order took effect from Friday, February 10, 2023.
The PDP leadership had on January 20 suspended the party chieftains for alleged anti party activities, following which they were all referred to a disciplinary committee set up by the party.
