Danjuma Goje, senator representing Gombe central, has been
expelled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in his ward over alleged
anti-party activities during the elections.
Tanimu Abdullahi, chairman, APC Kashere ward, Akko LGA of
Gombe, had on March 22 inaugurated a five-member committee to probe Goje.
Speaking on Tuesday on the outcome of the probe, Abdullahi
said the committee invited Goje to defend himself but the senator failed to
show up.
He said the refusal of Goje to honour the invitation was deemed unbecoming of a party stalwart.
The ward chairman said the committee deliberated on the
allegations against the senator, which include his alleged absence from APC
campaigns in the state and association with members of the opposition.
“Goje also hobnobbed with opposition parties and their
candidates with the intent to undermine the success of the APC in Gombe state
and Nigeria in general,” Abdullahi said.
“He openly supported opposition party candidates by hosting
the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) governorship candidate, Mr Khamisu
Mailantarki and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Akko House of
Representatives candidate, Mrs Aishatu Ahmed, in his residence.
“He offered them his
support against the interest of his party the APC.”
He said Goje was also accused of being a member of the PDP,
alleging that his photo and name were on the ballot papers of the PDP
senatorial primary election in 2022.
Abdullahi said upon review of the allegations against the
senator, the 27 executive members of the APC in Kashere ward resolved to expel
him in line with the provisions of the party.
