SDP suspends Gana, Duke over ‘anti-party activities

The Social Democratic Party, SDP, has expelled Professor Jerry
Ghana and its Acting National Chairman Supo Shonibare with
immediate effect.

The party, which endorsed President Mohammadu Buhari for a
second term last week, also suspended its Presidential candidate
Donald Duke, accusing him of being critical of the party and
disrespecting it.

SDP’s Director of Media and Publicity, Yemi Akinbode, announced
this at a news briefing in Abuja.

Akinbode said Ghana and Shonibare were expelled for engaging in
anti-party activities. While Shonibare was accused of being the
arrowhead of a splinter group, Ghana was accused of setting up a
parallel National Executive Committee in the party.
