Zamfara PDP Expels Ex-Gov’ship Aspirant, Bakauye, Over Anti-party Activities

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State, on Sunday, expelled Hon. Ibrahim Shehu Bakauye, a 2022 governorship aspirant of the party over alleged anti-party activities.

Bakauye contested alongside others for the Zamfara PDP governorship ticket in the 2022 governorship primary election.

After losing to Dauda Lawal in the May 25, 2022 primary exercise, he sued the party seeking the nullification of the result.

However, reviewing Bakauye’s activities in an expulsion letter, members of the PDP executives of his constituency, the Mayana Ward, Gusau Local Government Area of the State, accused him of gross indiscipline and colluding with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the opposition party.
