The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), along with suspended National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu and former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, over anti-party activities.
Others affected by the expulsion include Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Bature, Adeyemi Ajibade (SAN), Mohammed Abdulrahman, Mao Ohuabunwa, Austin Nwachukwu, George Turner, Abraham Amali, and Dan Orbi.
The announcement was made on Saturday during the party’s national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State. The motion for their expulsion was moved by former National Vice Chairman (South), Chief Bode George, and seconded by Hon. Samaila Burga, Chairman of the PDP in Bauchi State.
In addition, the party has dissolved its executive committees in Rivers, Abia, Imo, Plateau, and Enugu States.
This development comes after the PDP faction loyal to Wike attempted to halt the convention through the courts. However, the party obtained a favourable judgement from a high court in Oyo State, allowing the convention to proceed.
