(FULL LIST) PDP Expels Wike, Fayose, Others

On Saturday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held a national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, where a significant decision was made regarding party membership.

The party unanimously voted to expel several members, including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, due to allegations of anti-party activities.

The National Secretary of the party, Samuel Anyanwu, along with eight others, were also expelled for engaging in actions perceived as fostering disunity and for initiating a series of litigations against the party’s interests.

The decision underscores the party’s commitment to maintaining unity and discipline among its members. During the convention, delegates from various states participated in voting to elect new national officers for the party.

The national convention, which is currently being held at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan, has delegates from 17 states across the country in attendance.

A chieftain of the PDP, Bode George, moved the motion for the expulsion of 11 key members, citing what he described as activities inconsistent with the party’s collective interest as reasons for the move.

The chairman of the PDP in Bauchi State quickly seconded the motion.

The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Muhammed, put the vote forward for members to adopt and ratify the expulsion of those involved, and it was unanimously accepted.
