Similarly, the party suspended former Senate President Ken Nnamani and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama.
The disciplinary actions were announced yesterday by the Enugu State Secretary of the party, Mr. Robert Ngwu.
He presented the report of a disciplinary committee.
Ngwu said the report was ratified by an enlarged state Executive Committee meeting.
The expelled and suspended members were accused of anti-party activities.
They were alleged to have supported candidates of other parties during the 2023 general election.
The state Chairman of the party, Chief Ugochukwu Agballah, said the disciplinary action would signal an end to the crisis in the party.
He said: “These men have actually had the history of instigating crisis in the party. Their expulsion and suspension signal the end to crisis in the party.
“The party suffered a rare case of moles, who were here to disable and undermine this party. I can assure you that this decision was unanimous and I’m happy that the party leadership has done the needful.
“We’re going to rebuild this party to make it a credible alternative and platform for change in Enugu State.”
