BREAKING: PDP Expels Wike, Fayose, Anyanwu and Key Leaders – See Full List [PHOTO]

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike; former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose; and former National Secretary of the party, Samuel Anyanwu.

The convention, which has delegates from 17 states in attendance, saw PDP chieftain Chief Bode George move the motion for the expulsion of 11 key members, citing behaviours he said were “inconsistent with the party’s collective interest.”

Hon. Samaila Buga, Chairman of the PDP in Bauchi State, seconded the motion.

Delegates at the convention unanimously voted in favour of their expulsion, accusing them of engaging in acts of disunity and initiating multiple litigations against the party’s interest.

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, then presented the motion for adoption and ratification, and delegates unanimously approved the expulsion.

Also present at the convention are Governor Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Governor Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Governor Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Governor Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), Governor Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), and the PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagum.

Other notable attendees include the Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro; former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola; former Gombe State Governor, Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo; Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara; and several other party chieftains.

Politics Nigeria recall that the Wike-aligned faction had attempted to stop the convention through the courts.

However, the party obtained a favourable judgment from an Oyo State High Court, allowing the convention to proceed.
