The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the central senatorial district of Kogi State, has suspended former Senator Ahmed Ogembe over alleged anti-party activities, gross misconduct and betrayal of trust.
The suspension of Ogembe was conveyed in a letter of suspension through the Zonal Vice-Chairman of the party in the District, Anthony Akuvada Momoh.
The decision which the party hinged on several reports and allegations against the former Senator, became necessary to avert undermining the interest of party in Kogi State.
