The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled prominent members, including Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT); Samuel Anyanwu, the party’s suspended National Secretary; and Ayodele Fayose, former Governor of Ekiti State.
The decision was made on Saturday during the party’s national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Other expelled members include Umar Bature, Ajibade Kamarudeen, Mao Ohabunwa, Uwachukwu, George Turner, Dan Orbih, Mohammed Abdulrahman, Austin Nwachukwu, and Abraham Amah.
The motion for their expulsion was initiated by Chief Olabode George, former PDP National Vice Chairman (South), and seconded by Samaila Buga, Chairman of the Bauchi PDP.
The decision was subsequently ratified through a voice vote led by Bala Mohammed, the Governor of Bauchi and Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.
This move is part of the PDP’s efforts to address internal divisions and reinforce party discipline ahead of future political contests.
