PDP Expels Wike, Anyanwu, Ajibade, Fayose, Nwachukwu, Others Over Anti-Party Activities

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken sweeping disciplinary action at its 2025 National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, expelling several prominent members over what the party described as persistent anti-party activities.

Those expelled include former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, former National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu, legal luminary Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, Hon. Austin Nwachukwu, among other notable figures.

The decision was ratified by an overwhelming majority of delegates in a dramatic session on Saturday, marking what party leaders say is a turning point in efforts to restore cohesion, discipline, and electoral readiness ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to sources within the convention, the expulsion was part of a broader strategy to “sanitize the party” and eliminate long-standing divisions that have hindered the PDP’s performance in recent elections. Party officials noted that the sanctioned individuals were found culpable of activities that undermined the party’s unity and electoral prospects.

A senior party official who spoke on the development said the convention’s resolution sends a strong message that “no individual, no matter how highly placed, is bigger than the PDP.”

As the convention continues, the party is expected to unveil additional reforms and new internal mechanisms aimed at strengthening its structures nationwide in preparation for what it anticipates will be a fiercely contested electoral cycle.
