PDP Serves Wike, Fayose Other Expulsion Certificates
The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has dispatched expulsion certificates to 11 prominent politicians, including former governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose, in what the party described as a decisive move to sanitise its ranks, ahead of the 2027 elections.
The development was announced at a post-meeting briefing held after the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, session in Abuja, on Tuesday.
The National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, SAN, who addressed journalists, said the decision highlighted the party’s resolve to enforce discipline and end prolonged internal sabotage.
He said the briefing followed a review meeting of the new NWC, held to assess party operations, ongoing primaries, legal disputes, and handover notes from the previous leadership.
Turaki disclosed that the expulsion certificates had already been sent via courier to the affected individuals, including Wike, Fayose, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Umaru Bature, Kamarudeen Ajibade (SAN), Abdurahman Muhammad, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, Austin Nwachukwu, Abraham Amah Nnanna, George Turna and Dan Orbih.
“They have been expelled. They remain expelled. We have now certified their expulsion, and these certificates have been sent to them,” he said.
He added that the action was also meant to formally notify INEC, the police, DSS, NSCDC and other institutions that the affected individuals were no longer PDP members.
“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.
