According to reports, the PDP group headed by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike was expelled from the party secretariat by governors Seyi Makinde, Bala Mohammed, and Taminu Turaki, the recently elected National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Tensions surrounding the feuding factions’ attempts to hold simultaneous meetings at the PDP headquarters in Abuja on Monday preceded this development.
The faction supported by Wike and the National Working Committee (NWC), which was elected in Ibadan, Oyo State, were reportedly planning to meet on the same day.
The pro-Wike faction’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, had traveled to Wadata Plaza with a few of his supporters when a brawl allegedly broke out at the PDP secretariat, forcing the Wike faction to leave the area.
To have their NEC meeting, Makinde, Bala Mohammed, and PDP National Chairman Turaki, however, pushed their way into the PDP NEC hall.
