POLITICS: PDP Sends Certificate Of Expulsion To Wike, Fayose, Others

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has ratified the expulsion of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike and others from the party.

The PDP has also sent their expulsion certificates to them by courier.

This was disclosed on Tuesday by the National Chairman of the party, Kabiru Turaki, while addressing newsmen after the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) meeting in Abuja.

The decision to expel Wike, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, and several others, was first taken at the PDP National Convention held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital in November 2025.

Speaking on the development on Tuesday, Turaki said the expulsions have now been ratified by the NWC as part of efforts to sanitize the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

He added that the PDP is commitetd to enforce discipline and prevent internal sabotage.

The Chairman listed Wike, Fayose, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Umaru Bature, Kamarudeen Ajibade (SAN), Abdurahman Muhammad, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, Austin Nwachukwu, Abraham Amah Nnanna, George Turna and Chief Dan Orbih as part of those whose expulsion certificates have been sent to them and they are no longer PDP members.

“They have been expelled. They remain expelled. We have now certified their expulsion, and these certificates have been sent to them.

“Very soon, members of the society will be informed via proper disclaimers that any person henceforth who decides to do business with them, any or all of them (in the name of the PDP), does so at his or her own risk,” Turaki stated.

The chairman also confirmed that the NWC had examined legal cases involving the party, including those challenging the closure of its offices at Legacy House and Wadata Plaza, and expressed confidence in the ability of the party’s legal team to handle the matters
