In a major shake-up, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken decisive action against several high-profile members, expelling Minister of the FCT and former Rivers State Governor, Barr. Nyesom Wike, former Ekiti State Governor Mr. Ayodele Fayose, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Mr. Kamaldeen Adeyemi Ajibade, SAN, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, George Turner, and Hon. Umar Bature, citing activities aimed at destroying the party. The expulsion was moved by former Deputy Chairman (South) of the PDP, Chief Olabode George.
Earlier, the Secretary of the National Convention Organising Committee, Senator Ben Obi, had put the question to the delegates on whether or not the convention should be an Elective Convention and also raised a motion to make it an Elective Convention, with Mr Emmanuel Enoidem, SAN seconding the motion.
Similarly, Governor Seyi Makinde moved a motion for the ratification and confirmation of Executive Committees and Structures in states, which were produced through congresses at all levels that were in compliance with the party’s constitution and monitored by INEC and security agencies, exempting Imo, Abia, Enugu and Rivers states. Mr Daniel Obiechina Okechukwu seconded the motion.
The convention also moved a motion to dissolve the current NWC of the party, while it equally amended some sections of the party’s constitution.
