PDP Crisis Deepens as Wike-Backed Faction Expels Governors Makinde, Balance Mohammed & Dauda Lawal.
The internal turmoil within the PDP escalated sharply on Tuesday as the factional National Executive Committee (NEC) aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, ratified the expulsion of several high-profile party figures, including Governors Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), and Dauda Lawal (Zamfara).
Also expelled were former Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara; former National Vice Chairman, Bode George; and the recently elected National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, SAN.
Tuesday’s actions follow last weekend’s contentious PDP national convention in Ibadan, where Wike and his loyalists were themselves expelled—sparking a fresh wave of confrontations.
The tension peaked at the PDP national secretariat in Wadata Plaza, Abuja, where rival factions attempted to hold parallel NEC and Board of Trustees meetings, resulting in a heated standoff.
During its meeting at the secretariat, the Wike-backed factional NEC also dissolved the state executive councils in Oyo, Bauchi, Zamfara, Yobe, Lagos, and Ekiti, directing that caretaker committees be set up and new congresses conducted.
Reading the communiqué, National Secretary Senator Sam Anyanwu said, “NEC received the report of the Acting National Chairman, Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed, detailing breaches of Articles 58(1) and 59(1), including anti-party activities, disobedience to court orders, and conduct bringing the party into disrepute.”
He added that NEC had approved disciplinary proceedings against several members, including Adolphus Wabara, Olabode George, Ben N. Obi, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, Bala Mohammed, Oluseyi Makinde, Dauda Lawal, Taofiq Arapaja, Setonji Koshoedo, Okechukwu Obiechina Daniel, Woyengikuro Daniel, Mohammed Kadade Suleiman, Emmanuel Ogidi, Sumaila Adamu Burga, Umar Sani, Udom Emmanuel, and Emmanuel Enorden.
