The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers on Monday expelled the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr George Feyii,14 commissioners and 3 others , for alleged insubordination to the party. The 18 expelled members of the party Had failed to submit themselves before the performance evaluation committee of the party and they are also accused of anti- party activities.

According to Daily Post, Mr Felix Obuah, state PDP Chairman, announced this at a news briefing in Port Harcourt.

They did not also deem it necessary to excuse themselves. Sequel to the receipt of the report, the State Executive Committee met immediately and do hereby agree with the recommendation of the committee.

“The conduct of those persons who completely shunned the invitations and activities of the committee bothers on outright disdain and contempt, insubordination, indiscipline and lack of respect for constituent authority. It is a slight on the party and the party association.”

He continued: “Subsequently, the Peoples Democratic Party of Rivers state after its meeting do hereby expel from the party, the following persons, Mr George Feyii – Secretary to Government, Sir Tony Okocha – Chief of Staff to Government House, Dr. Sam-Jaja – Former Deputy National Chairman PDP, Mrs Aleruchi Cookey-Gam – Administrator, GPHCDA, Mr Victor Giadom, Hon.
