Wike’s Camp Holds Emergency PDP BoT, NEC Meetings to Counter Expulsions And Reclaim Positions

• In a bid to challenge recent expulsions, Nyesom Wike’s loyalists call emergency PDP Board of Trustees and National Executive Committee meetings to strategize and reclaim party influence.
  

The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has taken decisive action to counter last weekend’s sweeping expulsions by convening emergency meetings of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) and National Executive Committee (NEC).

Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the factional National Secretary, issued a notice on Monday, shared by Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, confirming the meetings will hold on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at the NEC Hall of the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.

The BoT session is scheduled for 11:00 a.m., while the NEC meeting will follow at 2:00 p.m. The notice stressed that attendance is crucial, noting that “important matters will be discussed and addressed.”

This move follows the PDP National Convention in Ibadan, where Wike, Anyanwu, former National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade, former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, and Imo PDP Chairman Austin Nwachukwu were expelled over alleged anti-party activities.

The expulsions were proposed by former Deputy National Chairman (South) Bode George, seconded by Bauchi State PDP Chairman Samaila Buga, and overseen by Bauchi Governor and PDP Governors’ Forum Chair Bala Mohammed.

The emergency meetings indicate mounting resistance from Wike’s loyalists, who aim to contest the Ibadan decisions and reassert their claim to the party’s leadership and influence.
