Addressing journalists in Kashere, the APC Ward chairman, Tanimu Abdullahi, explained that the party took the unanimous decision to expel Goje after finding him guilty of anti-party activities such as his failure to attend the Gombe State APC campaign rally presided over by the national chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, failure to attend the presidential campaign rally in the State, which was attended by President-elect and vice president-elect.

Abdullahi added that the Senator was also accused of boycotting all campaign tours of the party in his Central senatorial zone, Akko federal constituency, State constituency and ward units.
