A former Nigerian lawmaker, Dachung Bagos, has expressed concerns over the expulsion of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and 10 others from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). According to Bagos, the expulsion did not follow due process as outlined in the party’s constitution.

In an interview on Channels Television, Bagos stated that disciplinary actions should be taken through a formal committee, rather than a voice vote. He emphasized the importance of following proper procedures, even if the disciplinary action is deemed necessary. Bagos noted that the timing of the action is secondary to the question of whether due process was followed.

The former representative of Jos South-East Constituency in the House of Representatives also commented on the current state of the party, expressing skepticism about its future prospects. He stated that he does not see a resolution to the crisis in the near future, citing the need for transparency and adherence to the party’s constitution.

The expulsion of Wike and others has sparked controversy within the PDP, with some members questioning the legitimacy of the decision. The party’s leadership, under Umar Damagum, has faced criticism for its handling of the situation. As the party navigates this challenging period, it remains to be seen how the expulsion will impact its internal dynamics and future electoral prospects.

The PDP has been grappling with internal conflicts and power struggles, which have raised concerns about its ability to present a unified front in upcoming elections. The expulsion of high-profile members like Wike has further exacerbated these concerns, highlighting the need for the party to address its internal issues and establish a clear direction. With the party’s future hanging in the balance, the outcome of this crisis will be closely watched by political observers and analysts.
