Wike, Fayose, Adeleke, Adebutu risk expulsion from Peoples Democratic Party for endorsing Tinubu for second term
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to sanction its members which include Nyesom Wike, (Minister of the Federal Capital Territory), Ayodele Fayose (former Governor Ekiti State), Ademola Adeleke (Osun State Governor) and Hon Ladi Adebutu(former Governorship Candidate in Ogun State for endorsing the second term bid of President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress(apc) ahead of 2027 election.
Penpushing reports that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the opposition party made this known in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the statement warned those involved to retrace their steps or face stiffer sanctions as provided in the constitution of the party, explaining that the National Working Committee (NWC) had reviewed the anti-party activities of certain members of the party particularly those endorsing President Bola Tinubu for re-election in 2027.
Penpushing further reports that Ologunagba said that of serious concern was the persistent public media outbursts against Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by some prominent members.
The statement pointed out that such members’ actions and utterances, including their public declaration to work for the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 Presidential election, violated the provisions of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) constitution.
Penpushing also reports that the National Publicity Secretary added that the behaviour equally constituted a serious threat to the stability and sustenance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Specifically, Section 10 (6) of the PDP Constitution provides that “NO MEMBER of the Party SHALL align with other Parties or groups to undermine the Party or any of its elected government’, the statement reads.
“Such anti-party activities have continued to impact negatively on the PDP leading to division, disaffection and heavy haemorrhaging of members with the capacity to diminish our party’s electoral fortune if not immediately checked’, Ologunagba wrote.
‘In the light of the foregoing and the instance of protecting and preserving the existence of our party and its electoral fortune, the NWC, pursuant to the provisions of Section 59 (1) of the PDP Constitution hereby issues a strong reprimand against such anti-party activities and cautions those involved to retrace their steps or face stiffer sanctions as provided in the PDP Constitution,’’ he said.
Penpushing reports that the statement urged all members of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) to remain loyal, focused and continue to work assiduously towards the successful conduct of the National Convention of the party scheduled to hold on November 15 and November 16, 2025 in Ibadan.
