 ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - The ruling party expelled Nigeria's vice president from its ranks Friday and called on President Olusegun Obasanjo to fire him as his deputy after he declared his candidacy in next year's presidential elections.
Vice President Atiku Abubakar fell out with Obasanjo this year amid the president's failed attempt to modify the constitution, which would have allowed him to run for a third term.
Abubakar had been accused of corruption by the ruling People's Democratic Party, or PDP.
