Crisis which rocked the Peoples Democratic Party in Kaduna State deepened on Saturday as Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi and six other party members were slammed with suspension.
Hunkuyi who formerly represented Kaduna North Senatorial district and the governorship aspirant was accused of anti-party activities alongside six others.
Those suspended alongside Hunkuyi are: Hon. Hashim Garba from Kubau Local Government, Dr. Mato Dogara, Lere Local Government; Ibrahim Lazuru, Lere Local Government; Dr. John Danfulani, Kachia Local Government; Lawal Imam Adamu, Soba Local Government as well as Ubale Salmanduna from Zaria Local Government.
Catoh, in a statement released to journalists in Kaduna on Saturday evening, said, “The State Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, Kaduna State, met today, Saturday, 16 May, after a preliminary hearing on party discipline and resolved to suspend them for anti-party activities in line with the provision of the party’s constitution – Section 57 (3) 2017, as amended.
“That the said members stand suspended from the party from today, the 16th day of May, 2020 and will be expected to appear before the Disciplinary committee on a date and time to be announced by the committee.
“The SWC further resolved that Col. Dauda Albehu Gora, is not a registered member of the PDP.”
