In an unprecedented political earthquake, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the expulsion of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, and several other prominent figures in a sweeping disciplinary action that has sent shockwaves across the nation’s political landscape.
The decision, confirmed late Saturday, marks one of the most dramatic internal purges in the party’s recent history, signaling what insiders describe as “a decisive move to reclaim discipline and party supremacy.”
The full list of expelled members includes:
- HE. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, CON
- HE. Ayo Fayose
- Senator Samuel Anyanwu
- Hon. Umar Bature
- Adeyemi Ajibade, SAN
- Mohammed Abdulrahman
- Senator Mao Ohuabunwa
- Hon. Austine Nwachukwu
- Abraham Amah
- George Turner
- Chief Dan Orbih
Sources within the PDP say the expulsions follow “persistent anti-party activities, insubordination, and actions considered detrimental to the party’s collective interest.”
The announcement immediately ignited intense reactions, with analysts calling it a bold attempt by the PDP to reset its internal power dynamics ahead of upcoming political battles. Supporters of those expelled have dismissed the decision as a witch-hunt, while party loyalists argue it is long overdue.
As the political dust rises, one thing is clear: the PDP has drawn a line in the sand, and Nigeria’s political terrain may never be the same again.
