The Umar Damagum-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, and eight others for alleged anti-party activities.
Those removed from the party include National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Bature, Adeyemi Ajibade (SAN), Mohammed Abdulrahman, Mao Ohuabunwa, Austin Nwachukwu, George Turner, Abraham Amali, and Dan Orbi.
In addition, the party has dissolved its state executives in Rivers, Abia, Imo, Plateau, and Enugu.
Both decisions were adopted during the ongoing PDP Elective National Convention in Ibadan.
Board of Trustees member Chief Bode George moved the motion for the expulsion of the affected party leaders, while Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde moved for the dissolution of the state executive committees.
According to both leaders, the actions were taken in line with Section 33, subsection 2 of the PDP Constitution (2017).
