CLARIFICATION ON PURPORTED EXPULSION OF GEORGE TURNAH FROM THE PDP

The attention of the Zonal Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the South South Zone and Chairman of the Caretaker Committee in Bayelsa State, Hon. George Turnah, MON, has been drawn to a frivolous and laughable report circulating in both conventional and social media. This report falsely claims that he has been expelled from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) during a social gathering in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital.

For clarity, Hon. George Turnah categorically states that this news is entirely fake and baseless. It is nothing more than a pitiful display of desperation from certain political opportunists and mischief-makers within the Party. Such claims hold no merit and can be dismissed as “good radiance to bad rubbish.”

It should be noted that there has not been any legitimate PDP National Convention held anywhere in Nigeria since the last one conducted in 2022, which was for the purpose of nominating the Party’s Presidential candidate for the 2023 Presidential elections. Moreover, the PDP’s Constitution clearly and unambiguously outlines offenses and the corresponding disciplinary procedures to be followed, ensuring the right to fair hearing as a prerequisite for any disciplinary action.

Hon. Turnah remains a bonafide member and a duly elected official of the Party, with unwavering commitment to its ideals. His loyalty to the National Leader of the Party and Honourable Minister of the FCT, H.E. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, remains steadfast and unshakeable.

Party faithful and the Nigerian public are enjoined to disregard this fake news and give it no attention whatsoever.
