A faction of the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled some chieftains, some weeks after another announced the expulsion of some leaders, including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
In a tit-for-tat move, the Wike and Anyanwu-led faction of the party on Wednesday has in return announced the expulsion of some party giants including Bauchi State’s Governor Bala Mohammed, Zamfara State’s Governor Dauda Lawal and Oyo State’s Governor Seyi Makinde.
The “disclaimer” notice by the National Secretary of the party, Anyanwu, said:
“The leadership of the People’s Democratic Party noted with concern the embarrassing misrepresentation of;
- Bala Mohammed
- Dauda Lawal
- Seyi Makinde
- Emmanuel Udom
- Adolphus Wabara
- Taofeek Arapaja
- Kabiru Tanimu Turaki
- Ben N. Obi
- Bode George
- Okechukwu Obiechina
- Emmanuel Ogiad
- Emmanuel Ebiden
- Suleiman Kadade Mohammed
- Sumaita Adamu Bunza
- Koshoedo Setonji|
- Daniel Woyengikuro
- Umar Iliya Damagun
- Umar Sani
“Falsely parading themselves as members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“The general public and PDP faithful should be aware that in accordance with the PDP constitution, 2017 as Amended, these individuals were duly expelled by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Party held on November 18, 2025 for various offences bordering on anti party activities and gross misconduct,” the disclaimer read.
“The public and PDP faithfuls are therefore advised not to yield any support or accord recognition to any of these individuals falsely parading themselves as officers and members of the PDP. Anybody who does that, does so at his/her own peril.
“Again, the public should be aware that the People’s Democratic Party has not held her National Convention yet. The purported convention held in Ibadan was a charade and mere social gathering, which is not recognized by law, for its failure to adhere to validly delivered court judgements.
“Anybody parading himself as a newly elected national officer of the party is an imposter and a meddlesome interloper.”
