PDP Expels Wike, Fayose, Others in Major Purge Ahead of 2027 Elections

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled several key members, including former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, former Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose, former PDP National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Kamaldeen Ajibade, and Hon. Austin Nwachukwu during its ongoing 2025 national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State.

This major purge is part of the party's efforts to restore unity and discipline ahead of the 2027 general elections. The decision, which was ratified by an overwhelming majority of delegates, signals the party's firm stance against internal sabotage and anti-party activities that have weakened its political fortunes.

The move is expected to reshape the party's internal structure and position it stronger for the upcoming elections.
