The Elective National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) currently ongoing in Ibadan, Oyo State, has ratified the expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, from the party.
Also expelled from the party alongside Wike were former Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, and the embattled suspended National Secretary of the PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
The convention also expelled the former National Legal Adviser of the party, Mr Kamaldeen Adeyemi Ajibade, SAN; Senator Mao Ohuabunwa; George Turner and Hon Umar Bature; Alaba Turnah, among others.
Former Deputy Chairman (South) of the PDP, Chief Olabode George, who moved the motion for the expulsion of Wike and others, declared that the decision came against the backdrop of various activities they engaged in aimed at destroying the party.
The party said the decision, which was promptly ratified by an overwhelming majority of delegates present, underscored the party’s commitment to eradicating internal divisions and anti-party conduct that have plagued its progress.
