Adamawa Gov Distances Self from PDP’s Expulsion of Wike, Fayose, Others!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has dissociated himself from the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) recent move to expel the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, former Ekiti governor Ayo Fayose, and other senior members over alleged anti-party activities.

Speaking during an interview on Saturday, Fintiri called for restraint and dialogue, stressing that reconciliation, not expulsion, was key to strengthening the PDP ahead of future elections.

“This is not the time for division. We must focus on rebuilding and uniting the party, not tearing ourselves apart,” Fintiri stated.

Key Details:

• The PDP disciplinary committee’s decision sparked widespread reactions, with accusations of internal witch-hunting.
• Fintiri, a key northern PDP governor, is believed to be advocating for a middle ground amid growing factional tensions.
• The expelled members were reportedly accused of working against the party in the 2023 general elections.

Why It Matters:

• Fintiri’s stance highlights ongoing rifts within the PDP between party loyalists and influential dissenters.
• His call for unity may influence other governors and stakeholders to push back against hardline disciplinary actions.
• The development could impact the PDP’s strategic cohesion ahead of 2027.

What to Watch:

• Official party response to Fintiri’s statement.
• Moves toward internal reconciliation or further factional escalations.
• Wike and others’ next political steps—within or outside the PDP.
