Consequently, Ralph Nwosu was returned as National Chairman of the ADC, Alhaji Saidu as Secretary and Mrs. Kyauta as Women Leader, among others.
The chairman, while adducing the reason for the expulsion of Kachikwu, said the presidential candidate had no manifestoes since he was elected as a presidential candidate.
“The only thing he (Kachikwu) has done is to work against the interest of the party with the aim to sell the ticket to one of the ‘big’ political parties with impunity,” he said.
