The Peoples Democratic Party, at its ongoing 2025 National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Saturday expelled several high-profile members — among them Federal Capital Minister Nyesom Wike, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), former Governor Ayo Fayose, Austin Nwachukwu, and others — over alleged anti-party activities.

According to the party, the action was “promptly ratified by an overwhelming majority of delegates,” a development it says reflects its “commitment to restoring unity, discipline, and focus ahead of the 2027 general elections.”

In a statement released on its verified social media platforms, @OfficialPDPNig said: “In a landmark move to restore unity, discipline, and focus ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at its ongoing 2025 National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, has expelled high-profile members Nyesom Wike, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), former Governor Ayo Fayose, Austin Nwachukwu, and several others.”

A follow-up post on its Facebook page (@officialPDP) added: “The decision, which was promptly ratified by an overwhelming majority of delegates, underscores the party’s commitment to eradicating internal divisions and anti-party conduct that have plagued its progress.”

Another update on X (@officialPDPNG) confirmed that party elder Chief Olabode George, a former national vice-chairman (South), moved the motion for expulsion, while Samaila Buga, chairman of the PDP in Bauchi, seconded it.

The motion was subsequently subjected to a voice vote by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, who also chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum.
