The political landscape of Nigeria’s ruling opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has been shaken as the party announced the expulsion of several top members, including FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, former Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose, and former National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu.
The decision came during the PDP National Convention in Ibadan, with party officials citing anti-party activities as the reason for the expulsion. The move has immediately generated internal debates, with some prominent party leaders, including Governor Caleb Mutfwang, questioning the legitimacy of the decision.
Wike’s camp has also challenged the expulsion, with aides describing the convention as more of a “gathering” than a formal meeting, implying that the decision may lack legal standing. This internal conflict highlights growing divisions within the PDP as it navigates party politics ahead of upcoming elections.
Political analysts say the expulsion, whether upheld or contested, is a significant shake-up in Nigerian politics and could have ripple effects on the party’s cohesion and electoral prospects.
