Linzo: Why all of a sudden, under the so call strategist every opposition parties are in crisis? The answer? Abysmal failure, why fear opposition if you’re doing at least 10% good. Everything zero
Tareq1105: I still don't understand why some people would think that military personnel are above the law.
Let's wait and see, that building will still be brought down except if he has approval to build. You don't do things as if law doesn't matter. Military personnel are to submit to civil authority. That's the position of the Law.
Imagine the rubbish coming from the 2 ministers of defence. I know most of Tinubu ministers are jealous of Wike and his office. They wish Tinubu gave them FCT bcoz, to them, it should be for a northerner.
I'm happy that Tinubu is investigating the matter.
if OBASANJO and TY danjuma can reach out to WIKE for their land authenticity who is zubairu gambo in armed force that can't do same ? People are just supporting the boy because they don't like WIKE. Tomorrow they are the ones will be complaining of military brutality against the civilians not knowing they encourage it in the name of support against WIKE
Op I hope this is not from village, try going traditional. Don't take village things for granted especially in a case where even scanning can't dected your issue and there is issue.
Linzo: Abeg I need an answer to this, why is APC and it’s supporters angry and bitter that PDP hold their convention and expel Wike and his team of distroyals?
why is it that labour party supporters are now emergency lover of one faction of PDP ?

Ofunaofu: ......vows sweeping reforms as he assumes leadership of PDP
The newly elected National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, has pledged to lead a comprehensive reform agenda aimed at restoring internal democracy, strengthening party unity and bringing an end to longstanding grievances within the party.
Delivering his acceptance speech on Saturday at the PDP national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, Turaki said he was fully aware of the enormity of the assignment before him but expressed confidence in the party’s ability to rebound.
“The cross you have given us means you expect us to carry it to the Nigerian people—and we will,” he told delegates. “We are not under any illusion that the task ahead is simple. Our party is at a crossroads, but we are equal to the challenge.”
The former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs said the new National Working Committee would soon unveil a detailed operational blueprint that would define the party’s direction over the coming months.
“Very soon, we shall be rolling out our guiding principles and the modus operandi for achieving them. Once that is done, we will hit the ground running from day one,” he said.
Turaki assured members that the mandate entrusted to him would not be taken for granted, insisting that the PDP’s strength lies in its grassroots support and the democratic ideals it was founded upon.
“Today, the Peoples Democratic Party remains the only political party that has retained its name since inception. That is because this party belongs to the Nigerian people,” he said. “Make no mistake—we are returning the party to the people. There will be no more impunity.”
Turaki emerged victorious at the national convention, where delegates from 17 states participated in electing new national officers. He secured 1,516 votes to clinch the chairmanship seat in the election held at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba.
Announcing the results, former Anambra Central Senator, Ben Obi, said Senator Yakubu Danmarke placed second with 275 votes. He also declared former Oyo State Deputy Governor, Taofeek Arapaja, as the newly elected National Secretary of the party.
Just to post pictures of INEC officials at the convention is now a problem
Ofunaofu: Don’t sit behind a keypad demanding pictures like you’re giving orders. If you’re so desperate, take yourself to the convention ground and verify it with your own eyes.
And as for Wike, tell him that after being expelled from the PDP and wandering around like an internally displaced Minister of the FCT, his best next move might be to finally seek refuge in the APC, the party he once described as afflicted with ‘stage-four cancer.
Ofunaofu: Don’t sit behind a keypad asking for pictures when you could have gone to the convention ground to see for yourself and verify whether INEC officials attended.
you must post the pictures of INEC officials at the convention you like it or not 😆😆😆
But comrade how about the bot chairman senator wabara that endorsed labour party governor for second term in Abia state isn't that anti party?
helinues: Wike, Fayose, Anyanwu have been playing anti Pdp game for a year plus now. It's something glaring and obvious.
Pdp or any other party have their own constitution, terms and conditions before joining which those listed above have abused.
They are not the owner of Pdp, their interest have been sided with other party, so expelling them from Pdp is the right decision which they should respect. They are now free to associate openly with those that they shared same interest together
Please as you take your time to write this rubbish, it could have been better if you help nairaland with pictures of INEC officials at the convention
kfasian: NOW THAT NYESOM WIKE HAS BEEN EXPELLED FROM PDP: WHAT NEXT..?
Opinion
By PastorKay
The expulsion of Nyesom Wike from the Peoples Democratic Party is not the end of the battle; in fact, it is the beginning of the real political war. Anyone who understands Wike’s political character knows one thing: he never leaves a fight unfinished, he does not retreat, he retaliates—and he retaliates with precision.
And this time, the stakes are even higher because the battle is no longer just between Wike and PDP… It is now tied directly to the 2027 presidential election.And what is coming next will shake the PDP far deeper than this symbolic expulsion.
Here are the realistic next moves Wike is likely to take, as the political battlefield shifts into a more dangerous phase:
1. I See A Parallel National Convention Is Coming;
PDP moved ahead to hold a national convention despite a court order stopping it. That singular act has given Wike the strongest political weapon he needs to fight this battle.
Don’t be surprised if Wike convenes a parallel PDP national convention, using the court order as his legal foundation. Why? Because It will instantly delegitimizes the convention PDP just held. It will also create two factions, each claiming authenticity.
This will eventually portray Wike as the defender of the rule of law while painting PDP leadership as violators of judicial authority.
This may also invite governors, senators, and others seeking PDP tickets to align with him with the hope of getting lawful tickets for their elections.
Once two conventions exist, a full-blown legitimacy crisis erupts. And history has shown—parallel congresses and conventions usually end with a divided party crawling into elections weak and disorganized especially with fears of having elections victories upturned after winnings.
2. Expect a Court Battle That may Freeze the New PDP NWC in Its Tracks.
Wike challenging his expulsion in court is not only expected—it is a near-certainty.
If PDP violated its own constitution, ignored fair hearing, or disobeyed a court order, Wike can easily get the expulsion set aside or possibly nullified. This may also mean having the courts declaring the convention illegal reinstating Wike as a legitimate PDP member and placing an injunction stopping the PDP NWC from acting. It may also see the court freezing key party operations until final judgment.
This would throw PDP into months—possibly years—of legal paralysis. A political party headed into 2027 cannot afford that kind of internal chaos.
3. Wike Is Already Working for President Tinubu — And the Goal Is 2027 Domination
This is the political reality no one can ignore. Wike is not operating in isolation. His current partnership with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a strategic alliance designed to ensure that by the time Nigeria enters the 2027 election cycle, the opposition is too weak, divided, or disorganized to mount any serious challenge.
PDP’s decision to expel Wike simply accelerates that plan. Expect to see a Coordinated political moves between Wike and the presidency, Strategic targeting of PDP strongholds, and tactical weakening of any potential opposition coalition.
Wike’s new mission is clear: Neutralize PDP, weaken their structures, scatter their base, and make 2027 a walkover for Tinubu. And PDP just handed him the justification he needed. The Expulsion:
Now let's look at the Expulsion in itself; The Expulsion Violated Fair Hearing — And That Is Wike's Biggest Weapon. One of the most powerful angles Wike will exploit is the lack of due process in his expulsion. Political expulsions must follow: Fair hearing, Party constitution, Internal disciplinary procedures, Neutral disciplinary panels, and above all, Opportunity for persons involved to defend themselves. PDP’s action fell short of these requirements.
Wike will use this to argue that; The decision is unlawful, The process was biased, The leadership acted out of personal animosity, and The convention that ratified the decision is already under a court cloud. This gives Wike a clear legal path to court. And once he heads to court, the expulsion can easily be: Voided, Suspended or Set aside for not following due process. This puts PDP’s leadership on the defensive.
In summary, Wike’s expulsion Which was meant to end the fight; might rather be what will open the gates to a bigger and more complicated political war. Wike is a master of political ground warfare. He knows where PDP is strong and where they are weak. His next steps may shock PDP. Ignore him at your own peril. In the next coming months, I see A war of:
Court vs. Court
Convention vs. Convention
Faction vs. Faction
Legitimacy vs. Legitimacy
2027 is around the corner. PDP has just ignited a conflict that may determine its political survival.
Watch closely. Part 3 will be even more explosive.
