The Immediate-past member who represented Oredo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Omoregie Ogbiede-Ihama, has been expelled from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over alleged anti-party activities.

“The committee wrote him letters and called him on phone and sat five times and Ogbiede Ihama-Omoregie failed to appear before the committee.

“Today, we have received the report and recommendations of the committee and the committee has recommended the expulsion of Ogbeide Ihama-Omoregie from PDP.

“The offences of Ihama for which he now stands expelled is captured under section 58 (1) a, b, d, e, f, h, l, j, l with the expulsion of Ogbiede Ihama-Omoregie, members of the general public are to cease and desist from doing any business that has to do with the PDP with him.”
