Wike-Led PDP Faction Expels Makinde, Bode George, Others!
Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa
The crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has escalated as the Nyesom Wike-led faction announced the expulsion of key figures, including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, former Deputy National Chairman Bode George, and Governors Bala Mohammed (Bauchi) and Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), citing alleged anti-party activities.
“Their actions have consistently undermined the unity and electoral chances of the party,” said a spokesperson for the Wike-aligned faction.
Key Details:
- The expulsions follow months of internal wrangling between Wike’s camp and PDP’s national leadership.
- Allegations include collusion with opposition parties, refusal to comply with party directives, and sabotage during recent elections.
- The national PDP leadership has yet to issue an official response.
Why It Matters:
- This deepens the factional split and weakens PDP cohesion ahead of 2027 elections.
- It may trigger legal battles and further defections.
- Key PDP-controlled states risk political instability.
What to Watch:
- Official reaction from expelled members and the PDP National Working Committee.
- Legal challenges to the expulsion process.
- Possible realignment or formation of a new political bloc.
