The lawmaker had accused the speaker, Yakubu Dogara and some principal officers of the house of padding the 2016 budget, an allegation which has since been denied.
The party chairman in Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State, Sani Ranka said Jibrin’s expulsion follows his “anti-party activities” and his refusal to meet the five-member panel set up by the party.
“Before taking this final decision, we formed a disciplinary five-man committee and they went to him on 11-4-2017, he saw them briefly but without any tangible talks and they went back on 13-4-2017 he then refused to see them,” he said.

Ranka said after reporting back to the party executives, the party’s caucus agreed to expel Jibrin from the party.
Jibrin is yet to respond to the development.
