The Umar Damagun–led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike; former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose; and eight other senior members for alleged anti-party activities.
Those expelled include PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu; Bature; Adeyemi Ajibade (SAN); Mohammed Abdulrahman; Mao Ohuabunwa; Austin Nwachukwu; George Turner; Abraham Amali; and Dan Orbi.
In the same vein, the faction announced the dissolution of the party’s executive committees in Rivers, Abia, Imo, Plateau, and Enugu States.
The decisions were taken on Saturday at the ongoing PDP Elective National Convention in Ibadan.
The motion for the expulsion of the affected chieftains was moved by a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Bode George, while Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, moved the motion for the dissolution of the affected state structures.
According to both leaders, the actions were taken in line with Section 33, Subsection 2 of the PDP Constitution (2017).
