Son of a former governor of Kogi state, Alhaji Abubakar Idris has been suspended by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for alleged anti-party activities.
Abubakar’ suspension was contained in a letter dated 5/03/ 2920 and signed by the Icheke Ward chairman of the party, Hon. Sunday Idakwoji, a copy of which was made available to journalists in Lokoja on Saturday.
The statement noted that the party, after considering the weight of the allegations against him, decided to suspend him for one month to ensure fairness, equity, and justice to be served in the matter.
“This is to inform you, Abubakar Idris, that there is a petition against you and to enable us get to the root of the matter, a disciplinary committee has been set up in accordance with the provision of the constitution of the party 2017 as amended.
“And to allow us to do justice to this petition in accordance with the constitution of our great party, we have resolved, after preliminary hearings, to suspend you from the party for a period of one month.
“Therefore, this is to inform you that you have been suspended from the party pursuant to Section 57( 3) of the party’s 2017 constitution as amended,” the statement noted.
Alhaji Abubakar Idris was a former governorship aspirant of the party in the last primary election. He headed to court after he lost the governorship primary election to his in-law, Engineer Musa Wada. The court, however, ruled that the primary election was inconclusive and PDP had no candidate in the November 16, 2019 Kogi governorship election.
