Internal conflict has led to the suspension of two notable members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Borno State–a former governorship candidate, Mohammed Alkali Imam and former state chairman Zannah Gaddama Mustapha.
PDP Secretary, Borno State, Yusuf Mohammed Dikko, who announced the suspension at a media conference in Maiduguri, said those suspended were allegedly causing mutual distrust by creating factions among members.
He said the two bigwigs allegedly refused to answer all questions concerning complaints against them by ward and local government executives.
When contacted, former chairman Mustapha said the party did not set up any disciplinary committee to investigate the matter.
