Ofunaofu:
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has rejected his purported expulsion from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


DAILY POST reports that the party earlier announced that Wike; Samuel Anyanwu, former National Secretary of the party; and Ayodele Fayose, former Governor of Ekiti State, were expelled from the main opposition party.

Chief Olabode George, former National Vice Chairman of the party (South), moved the motion for the expulsion at the ongoing convention in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.


The motion was seconded by Hon. Samaila Burga, Chairman of the PDP in Bauchi.

However, when contacted by DAILY POST, the Senior Special Assistant on Publicity and Communications to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka, dismissed the expulsion.


According to Lere, the party members who announced the expulsion were “intoxicated” in their “dirty December.”

He said, “They went to Ibadan to start dirty December in November.

“When people decide to start their own dirty December in November, one can’t but ignore whatever comes out of their mouths.


“They gathered in Ibadan to do party, enjoy themselves and intoxicated, they are free to say anything.”

Wike

You stand expelled and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

You were nothing without PDP

PDP is the vehicle that made you relevant and you can't be bigger than PDP

In PDP we have ex presidents

Ex Senate presidents
Ex governors
Ex ambassadors
Ex house of reps etc

And present governors etc

So you are just a one person so toxic

The PDP has spoken

It was the party that expelled you and no one individual

So you are a one individual talking back at a party

You see ?!
Wike, you do not have any legal legs to stand in this matter

The party is supreme

callthefred:
How was INEC given notice please? Because any correspondence with INEC must be signed by Chairman and Secretary and Anyanwu denied every signing the letter that his signature was forged.

The court is not a place for emotions. I only pity Governor Adeleke.

Anyanwu was duely suspended and inec was in the know.

Inec was duely notify



And ibadan court has similar jurisdiction with Abuja court

And in this case ibadan court has far better jurisdiction being that it's where convention will hold

Are you not meant to be less interested in what is happening in PDP?
Shebi PDP is dead ?
Why all of una still dey fear dead PDP?

Breaking: Absence of INEC throws PDP Convention into confusion

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is SET TO DECIDE WHETHER TO CONTINUE WITH ITS ONGOING ELECTIVE NATIONAL CONVENTION IN IBADAN, OYO STATE OR NOT FOLLOWING the ABSENCE OF INEC OFFICIALS TO MONITOR the PROCEEDINGS.

Chairman of National Convention Organising Committee and Adamawa Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri says “With the absence of INEC, it is not within my prerogative to continue with this exercise. I leave the convention delegates to decide”

Mynd44

Is inec working for the country or is inec working for APC?

The courts that the evil set of politicians use to shop for evil verdicts and inec roles in being more political than being independent will consume this country


Truth is that nothing will stop PDP from fielding candidates in 2027 general elections

Hoelujohn:
I love what is going on. The case is like LP case that Supreme Court gave judgement on, and you know what? The current NWC of Labour Party is still being recognized. INEC and Supreme Court have shot themselves on the foot. Whatever they decide will also apply to LP and that’s why Wike has been shouting since yesterday

Pls are you fergioo?!

PigTormentor:
Ogar was like a dictator under Jonathan. Why will Tinubu reinstate such a despicable person?
I still remember that lady when DSS raided APC office and took their computers away just because Jonathan knew he was about to lose the election.
Tinubu messed up big time.
Many bad things happened under Jonathan but Nigerians have very poor memory.
Just imagine DSS raiding the offices of the opposition now and taking their computers away.
The noise and accusations will be heard at the UN.

Now it's evident that she was right to have gone there to take away their systems .
APC like you are doing here keep hiring laptop dogs to spread falsehood

Cherrybae:
DR Congo is tough. Super Eagles can't defeat them.

Let's tell ourselves the truth.

We won Garbon by luck, also the Ref and VAR were so bias against Garbon.

Not as touch as nigeria


Nigeria is the team with the toughest squad in Africa.

Nigeria is better than them on paper and in ranking and in achievements

So Nigeria will win them hands down with Osimhen scoring hat trick through out of the qualifications to the world cup.
At the world cup , we are playing at the final and Osimhen scoring highest goals of the tournament and Nigeria lifting the world cup

Jagabanfromcali:
Can some one point out where he said that in the passage ? It can be interpreted that he wants more slots for European countries just like more slotted have been allocated to African and South American continents but sensationalism sells

I was wondering too.

He didn't say that

mascot87:
Wike did not lose. Rule of law lost. Civilian lost against military. This shows that Military can do anything they like and nothing will happen. The Nigerian people lost. Democracy lost.
So tomorrow, military can do anything to Nigerians and nothing will happen.
They can bully anybody and it will be in vain.
Military authority won against Democratic Authority even in the face of military illegality.

Last last, na all of us go collect... If you celebrate this, then you are celebrating future pains that will be meted on you by the military because you cannot escape it

That is why we should not allow agberos and country rejects to be leaders , military was not doing this until we have bandits and APC in power .
Shame on you

Osimhen to score hat trick through out of to the world cup proper .

Nigeria already qualified to the world cup

Osimhen will score hat trick through out and naija will qualify

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh.

It's obvious that you have not had case in court before or got involved in land matters litigation.

That is bad PR to the retired officer. He could actually land in bigger problems ,even arrested and prosecuted.

The Minister represents the President. If he takes on the Minister then he is taking on the President and that's bad for him.

Interestingly, the retired officer wouldn't send his own son on such errand and when he was a young officer, he wasn't having a shouting match publicly with constituted authorities or behaving the way the young officer behaved to the Minister. If he was behaving like that he would not get to the pinnacle of his career.

FG will investigate the appropriateness or otherwise of a serving or retired senior military officer to give order to a junior officer to restrain a Minister on his lawful duty from performing his duty.
That will be visited to ensure that such disgraceful scene never happens again.

That Junior Officer should have known the limits of his discretion and just kept quiet after saying he was obeying order which has now turned out to be an order given by a retired military officer.

So if tomorrow, retired or serving officers tell him to slap a government official, he will do it niyen.

It was the President he was challenging by placing the 'order ' above the authority of the president delegated to the Minister.

Whatever incentive he got or was promised by the retired Senior Officer for him to behave in that manner must be investigated too. Haba!

It is completely unacceptable that the Minister was prevented from performing his lawful duty by a junior officer acting on the order of a retired military officer. Everyone including the junior officer and the retired Senior naval officer should by now have been rounded up and quizzed if it's not already done.

That video is a very sad event that embarrasses the President and the nation.

You are talking bulalablu

What happened to the court?
What gave wike the order or right to invade somebody's property?
Which court order empowered him ?

Nonsense capping

Iagos:
Fellow Nairalanders, the internet has been buzzing since this morning over the dramatic confrontation between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and soldiers at a property in Gaduwa, Abuja. Let me break down what really happened and analyze who was right.

WHAT HAPPENED

On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, Minister Wike led FCTA officials to inspect a land in Gaduwa when armed soldiers blocked them from entering. The property is allegedly linked to former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo.

The confrontation got heated! The minister shouted, one officer told him "I will not shut up," and Wike called the soldier "a very big fool." The soldier kept repeating "I am not a fool sir, I am acting on orders."

WIKE'S POSITION

According to the FCT Minister:
- The property has NO valid title documents
- There are NO proper building approvals from FCTA
- Development Control officials were chased away by armed soldiers when they tried to enforce a stop-work order
- He had already directed that work should stop on the plot
- He spoke with the Chief of Defence Staff and Chief of Naval Staff who assured him the matter would be resolved amicably

Wike's question: "How can someone who held such high office not come to my office to explain his situation but instead use soldiers to intimidate people?"

THE SOLDIERS' POSITION

The military officers claimed:
- They were acting on orders (from the former Chief of Naval Staff)
- Everything was acquired legally
- One officer insisted he was "an officer with integrity"
- They refused to budge despite the minister's threats

WHO WAS RIGHT? MY ANALYSIS

On the Land Issue:
If truly no proper FCT documentation exists (as Wike claims), then the minister is right to enforce planning regulations. No one should be above the law, military or civilian. However, the soldiers claim everything was legal - so the truth depends on whether proper documentation exists.

On the Officer's Conduct:
This is where e shock me! Was the officer right to engage a minister like that?

MY HONEST ANSWER: NO!

Here's why:
1. The soldiers were taking orders from a FORMER Chief of Naval Staff (retired officer), not their current chain of command
2. They were blocking a serving civilian government minister from performing official duties
3. The confrontational manner (arguing back, refusing orders) violated military discipline
4. In a democracy, military must be subordinate to civilian authority

Yes, soldiers should follow orders, but these orders came from a retired official, not their current commanders. The proper thing would have been to respectfully state their position while deferring to civilian authority, or let current military leadership resolve the issue through proper channels.

THE BIG QUESTIONS FOR NAIRALAND:

1. Should a former Chief of Naval Staff be using soldiers to guard private property?
2. Is this not abuse of military privilege?
3. Why didn't the former CNS approach the FCT Minister's office officially if he had legitimate documents?
4. Should the soldier be dismissed for insubordination?
5. Who truly owns this land legally?

Some politicians are already calling for the soldier's dismissal. The CDS and CNS have promised to resolve the matter amicably.

What do you think, Nairalanders? Who was right? Should the soldier be punished or praised for standing his ground?

You know nothing about the military

helinues:
Una wan land the junior officer into trouble for doing illegal work. Make una let the matter rest. All the parties involved didn't try

He is not a junior officer

He is not a junior officer

He is a commissioned officer .

NgeneUkwenu:
If Wike has caused about 5 governors to defect to other parties, factionalized the party and still giving Makinde wotowoto in his own faction ...Then He is already ahead in the game. Winding down the party is just a matter of time., Wike has nothing to lose, so he is a veteran when it comes to party politics.

There is no faction in PDP

It's either PDP or suspended members .
PDP remains PDP recognized

fergie001:
You see?
You are getting very good at your law.

They have no locus standi been non-aspirants. Seyi Makinde is the new PDP leader now

This is exactly my point

The PDP did not want to be loud about their plans
They made wike feel comfortable with his little wins then allow him have few followers knowing that a time like this his will come.

Now even omotoshe will be shocked at his fooly

Their is no legal leg in which they can stand .


None whatsoever


So tell me , will APC contend wike excessive?

Salewa97:
The Wike's faction and Damagum faction would be working at cross path in the Ekiti state election.

The winner of the Ekiti state primary would be the next PDP governorship candidate in the state.

It would be interesting to see how the both factions would handle the election.

Good luck to them all

There is nothing like damaging faction

There is no faction in PDP

Damagun is the PDP chairman

No faction anywhere

Ttalk:
Soludo is smarter, more intelligent and more courageous than you.

He has track record as CBN governor and his deliberate work to change the face of Anambra can be seen by everyone.

He has displayed maturity on national issues and his articles and journals on topical national issues serves as reference for governance and in academic forums.

Soludo and Umahi are on the league of their own when it comes to governance while Peter Obi trails far behind Obiano his successor

Soludo destroyed CBN

HgAkpobomeEr:
We reject any threats to our sovereignty.

Exactly what s terrorist will say .


God

We share country with bloody terrorists


Trump pls hasten up

Who's talking about money here ? He can't win UCL with Gala so he needs to go to an A list team to win laurels

He can win UCL with Gala

He is born to break Records

fergie001:
Nyesom, you have erred but nobody can take away your contribution to this Party. Get off your high horse, sit with the leadership and take positions/slots.

For what now?

It's crazy an idea for PDP to allow such from such an unstable mind.

Hello Nlders

Kindly list for the benefit of career progression online /off site/ work from home jobs one can do that will not require coding that come with relatively big pay too

Having gone through lots of online jobs, one can easily note that lots are coding and programming related .

So kindly list job roles with big and multinational firms that are not coding/programming related


E.g jobs from US,Canada,UK, Schengen market

mascot87:
So much more killing should be activated and Southern Region that is in peace should also be turned to a battle field? Choose your evil wisely. The northern leaders knows how to resolve there problem because it is political. They just need the right leadership to stop the senseless killing. We have to be smart else the south should be ready for the influx of millions of northern refugees that will lead to the destabilising of the peaceful south. Are you ready for it?

Once all the sponsors of terror especially are named and dead , the people will go back to North in peace leaving South west

They won't come to South South or South East

sreamsense:
Don't be surprised when you see Chibuzor, Ndubuisi, Ndukwe etc as sponsorer of ipob/ESN also, then you will come and say is fake. Until the first batch list comes out, you can say because when money (ego) is involved; contractor given such assignment may even be Okoye, Chukwudi etc. Just wait for the list first, don't rush! Some names of political elites you forgave their sins just because you want obi to be president, may make first batch.

Why should this be your defense?

Who ever it is sponsoring or benefitting or siding terrorists should be fished out and eliminated abeg . Enough

press9jatv:
Wike will defeat them in the Appeal court. You seem not to know Wike here.

I do not have respect for tours and country rejects


The matter is settled and PDP is the greatest force nobody can stop


Gej will emerge and all nonsense will stop

Matter settled

Now go and rest

Sleep

fergie001:
Okay!

Thank you

Just leave them with their painful thoughts

The cry no be here

No 10naira for them this night

Na serious hunger go finish them

fergie001:
1. The order from the State High Court will stand. This judgement is from an aggrieved contestant.

2. PDP is still appealing the other one as a Party. This one wasn't PDP's making!

You are busy educating APC e touts on nairaland

They won't get their 10 naira per click money today


They will cry blood
😂

NgeneUkwenu:
I don't know why you feel that Wike state apparatus will lose to Makinde from Oyo? We check the scores next week.

Makinde is playing into Wike's hand. Wike is a veteran in court matters. ...At the end of the day, PDP wont present any candidate in the coming elections.

Side Note: Why are you guys against Nigeria on Nairaland by bringing all sorts of propaganda threads by IPON on Trump and invasion on the Front page even without verification of the authenticity? This is highly uncalled for, though I don't know the moderator responsible for this.

Wike has not himself won any case in court and does not understand justice

Corrupting and bribing judges does not make one veteran


The convention will hold and it will stand

No body or court in the world,not even in Nigeria can stop PDP from fielding and participating in the 2027 election.
No body

Not even UN or World Court


APC and your likes are even pupils .. too small

Cherrybae:
With the conflicting Orders, it is wise to conclude that the conversation if held will hold no waters.

PDP should Appeal the FHC order, the order from the state High Court will not stand.

The convention will hold and it will stand because there is a precedent

Arapmoi22:
If it does not comply with the law, It won't stand.

The Judgement earlier at Abuja High Court said INEC should not recognize the outcome of the convention for not complying with party constitution and electoral law.

If it is not recognized and supervised by INEC, then it is an act in futility since they did not appeal earlier judgement.

Every action by the waring parties kept playing into Tinubu's favour.

This is exactly what you wish but the case is not your matter do focus on your terrorist party and leave the PDP alone

No body can stop PDP from next elections in 2027
