Nyesom 3.webp
The Digest:

The Peoples Democratic Party has taken decisive disciplinary action by expelling several high-profile members during its national convention in Ibadan. The motion to remove the prominent figures was unanimously supported by delegates, signaling a major purge within the opposition party.

Key Points:
  • Former Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike, now FCT Minister, expelled from PDP
  • Former Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose and factional chairman Samuel Anyanwu were also removed
  • Motion moved by the founding father, Chief Bode George, seconded by Governor Bala Mohammed
  • Expulsions based on allegations of anti-party activities
  • National Legal Adviser Adeyemi Ajibade, among other senior members expelled
  • Action taken during Saturday's national convention in Ibadan
  • The decision marks a significant restructuring within the opposition party
As the party sheds what it deems disloyal elements, this mass expulsion represents both a cleansing ritual and a strategic gamble—betting that unity can be forged through exclusion rather than reconciliation.

The Purge Begins.
