The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has taken a significant step against some of its prominent members, issuing certificates of expulsion to several individuals, including FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. This move follows the party’s earlier decision to expel Wike, former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose, and other members for engaging in anti-party activities.
According to Taminu Turaki, speaking at the PDP headquarters in Abuja, the expulsion certificates have been dispatched to the affected members via courier services. The party had previously expelled Wike, Fayose, National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, and eight others, citing their involvement in anti-party activities and litigation that undermined the party’s interests.
The expulsion of these high-ranking members is a significant development in the ongoing internal conflicts within the PDP. The party has also dissolved its structures in several states, including Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers, in an effort to address the disunity and infighting that has plagued the party.
The PDP’s decision to expel these members is seen as a measure to restore discipline and cohesion within the party. The expulsions are a result of the party’s efforts to address the anti-party activities and litigation that have hindered its progress. The move is expected to have significant implications for the party’s future and its ability to present a united front in upcoming elections.
The affected members have been accused of fostering disunity and engaging in activities that are detrimental to the party’s interests. The PDP’s leadership has emphasized the need for unity and discipline within the party, and the expulsions are seen as a step towards achieving this goal. As the party moves forward, it remains to be seen how the expulsions will impact its overall performance and reputation.
