Court Affirms Senator Goje’s Expulsion From APC

Justice Obiora Egwuatu of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed the suit filed by Senator Mohammed Danjuma Goje challenging his dismissal from the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the Kashere ward executive committee of the party.

Senator Goje was suspended and subsequently dismissed in April this year for his refusal to participate in party activities at all levels.

The former governor of Gombe was suspended for his refusal to attend the APC presidential campaigns and other local campaign events.

He was also said to be allegedly working against the party’s candidates at the state assembly, governorship, National Assembly and presidential levels, as well as open display of contempt and disloyalty towards the party leadership and constituted authority in Gombe State.

Senator Goje’s dismissal followed the report of an investigative committee set up by the APC Kashere ward executive committee.

The committee found the senator guilty of all charges and recommended his immediate suspension and expulsion from the APC.
