How PDP Courageously Kicked Out Wike, ‘Siders’

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention has courageously expelled Barr. Nyesom Wike, Minister of the FCT and former Governor of Rivers State, from the party.

The party also expelled former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose and Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the PDP’s embattled former National Secretary.

The convention also expelled the party’s former National Legal Adviser, Mr. Kamaldeen Adeyemi Ajibade, SAN, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, George Turner, and Hon. Umar Bature.

Former PDP Deputy Chairman (South), Chief Olabode George, who moved the motion to expel Wike and others, stated that the decision was made in light of various activities aimed at destroying the party.

Earlier, Senator Ben Obi, Secretary of the National Convention Organising Committee, asked the delegates whether the convention should be an Elective Convention and also proposed a motion to make it so, with Mr Emmanuel Enoidem, SAN seconding the motion.

Similarly, Governor Seyi Makinde moved a motion to ratify and confirm Executive Committees and Structures in states, which were produced through congresses at all levels in accordance with the party’s constitution and monitored by INEC and security agencies, with the exception of Imo, Abia, Enugu, and Rivers states. Mr. Daniel Obiechina Okechukwu seconded the motion.

The convention also voted to dissolve the party’s current NWC and amend certain sections of its constitution.
