CAMPAIGN for Democracy, CD, a civil society organisation, said it had expelled Goodluck Obi, its general secretary, for issues relating to lack of integrity, selfishness, and participation in partisan politics.

In a statement released by the group at the end of an emergency meeting held by its National Executive Council, NEC, the group vowed that it would not sit back and watch its age-long collective reputation, integrity and democratic struggles to be rubbished on the altar of personal interest, selfishness and be subjected to the whims and caprice of Obi.

While NEC insisted that CD was not and is not a partisan organisation, and anyone that contradicting the principle and philosophy would be sanctioned accordingly, it also noted that “the activities of Mr. Obi Goodluck has been generating a lot of heated debate within and among the elites, fans and sympathisers of CD, which, has drawn serious attention of the media, culminating into unpleasant and fouls tasting complements and questions, as, when did CD become a political party?”

Besides, it disclosed that Obi was recently linked with a phone conversation that leaked in the media tagged “Civil Society Contractor Reveals Money ‘eating’ Plan amongst several other questionable activities including another one that flooded the media with Obi wearing Buhari’s T-Shirt with megaphone in his hand calling the unsuspicious members of the public and civil society to queue in to his anti union’s deal and support for Buhari’s second term.

CD disclosed that the imperative decisive expulsion of Obi followed his refusal to acknowledge and respond to all queries issued to him, as well as, failure to appear before the three-man disciplinary panel headed by Lanre Ogunyinka, the CD national publicity and publications secretary.
