President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the governor who jumped bail on money-laundering charges in the UK and escaped home is "shameful" to Nigeria.
Mr Obasanjo was commenting on the case of Diepreye Alamieyeseigha for the first time in public, although he has asked the UK for an explanation.
Mr Alamieyeseigha was expelled from the ruling PDP party on Thursday.
He also faces corruption charges in a special court, which can strip elected officials of their immunity.
Neither he nor his legal representatives, however, appeared in the Kaduna Code of Conduct Tribunal on charges of illicit enrichment and failure to declare properties and bank accounts.
