The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has convened an emergency meeting of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) and National Executive Committee (NEC) for November 18, 2025, amid deepening internal turmoil.

According to a notice published, both meetings will be held at the NEC Hall of the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.

The notice stated that the BoT meeting will begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by the NEC meeting at 2:00 p.m. It emphasized that “attendance is very important as crucial matters will be discussed and addressed.”

The announcement comes barely 24 hours after the party’s 2025 National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, where several high-profile members, including Wike, former National Secretary Samuel 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 motion leading to their expulsion was moved by former PDP Deputy National Chairman (South), Chief Bode George, and seconded by Bauchi State PDP Chairman, Samaila Buga.
