……… justifies their expulsion, others for anti-party activities
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, alongside Ayodele Fayose, Samuel Anyanwu and eight others for anti-party activities.
Chief Bode George who moved the motion for their expulsion, which was unanimously supported by party members present at the convention said that they have ridiculed the party by their actions.
The PDP announced their expulsion during its 2025 National Convention in Ibadan on Saturday.
Others expelled are: Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), Austin Iwachukwu, Umar Bature, Muhammad AbduRahman, Mao Ohuabunwa, Abraham Ama, George Turnan, and Dan Obi.
George said that PDP members were bound by and must adhere to Section 40 of its Constitution as amended.
According to him, political parties are voluntary organisations and members may wish to join or not.
“These people above have committed various breaches of the constitution by holding parallel congresses, canvassing votes for other parties, and sponsoring litigations against the party, among others,” he said.
George said the actions and character of Wike and others had brought ridicule to the party. (NAN)
