Wike-Led PDP Faction Announces Emergency BoT, NEC Meetings

 The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has announced that an emergency meeting of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) and National Executive Committee (NEC) will hold on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.

A notice issued on Monday by the factional National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and shared on his X account by the FCT minister’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, stated that both meetings will take place at the NEC Hall of the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.

The notice indicated that the BoT meeting is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by the NEC meeting at 2:00 p.m., adding, “Attendance is very important as crucial matters will be discussed and addressed.”

Politicis Nigeria earlier reported that during the PDP’s 2025 National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, several high-profile members, including Wike, Anyanwu, former National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade, former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, and Imo PDP Chairman Austin Nwachukwu, were expelled for alleged anti-party activities.

The motion for their expulsion was moved by former PDP Deputy National Chairman (South), Bode George, and seconded by Bauchi State PDP Chairman, Samaila Buga.

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, who also chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, subsequently put the motion to a voice vote, which was overwhelmingly endorsed by delegates, reflecting the party’s determination to address internal dissent and curb anti-party conduct within its ranks.
