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.

The host governor of the 2025 PDP National Convention, Gov. Seyi Makinde, says the outcome of the conversation will turn the fortunes of the party’s national outlook.
The governor, who noted that PDP had sacrificed a lot to make the convention a reality, charged all the delegates to remain united and peaceful throughout the period.

choctee: The city of Ibadan surged with political energy on Saturday as thousands of delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) filled the Lekan Salami Stadium for the party’s highly anticipated 2025 National Convention. The two-day event, holding from November 15 to 16, has drawn party leaders from all 36 states, signaling what many describe as a defining moment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, a prominent philanthropist; mobiliser and advocate of good governance across the federation and businessman, arrived at the venue early on Saturday to a warm reception. Speaking with journalists, he expressed confidence that the convention marks the party’s full return to national relevance after what he called “years of turbulence and internal repair.”
“The PDP has restored its glory,” Ajadi declared. “What you are seeing here today in Ibadan is not just a convention—it is the rebirth of a winning party. In 2027, total victory is certain. We will take the mantle of leadership across all 36 states and reclaim Nigeria.”
Ajadi, known as one of the most vocal mobilisers in the Southwest, noted that the gathering offers the party a fresh opportunity for reconciliation and strategic repositioning.
“This is the time for healing, unity, and preparation,” he said. “Nigerians are looking for a progressive alternative that can rescue the economy, stabilise governance, and restore hope. The PDP is ready to answer that call.”
Delegates from across the federation began arriving in Ibadan as early as Friday, November 14. Many northern delegates, who lodged in different hotels within the metropolis, were seen boarding coaster buses in convoys to the stadium on Saturday morning. Their early arrival, observers say, underscores the importance the party has placed on unity and early groundwork ahead of the next election cycle.
Southwest delegates—particularly from Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti and host state Oyo—also arrived in their numbers. Party officials described the turnout as “massive,” noting that it reflects a renewed commitment to strengthening the PDP's structures in the region.
Security personnel from the police, civil defence, the DSS, and Oyo State’s Amotekun Corps mounted strategic positions around the stadium, while traffic officials worked tirelessly to manage the heavy flow of vehicles along Ring Road and nearby routes.
The convention is expected to produce new members of the National Working Committee (NWC), assess internal party reforms, and unveil a comprehensive roadmap toward 2027. PDP governors, senators, House of Representatives members, former national officers, and other prominent leaders are expected to participate in key sessions and deliberations.
According to party insiders, speeches from influential national figures—scheduled for later today and Sunday—will likely shape public expectations and help define the alliances and strategies that will drive the party into the 2027 elections.
As chants, drums, and colourful PDP banners lifted the atmosphere inside the stadium, one message echoed across Ibadan: the PDP is back on its feet—stronger, louder, and gearing up to challenge for power once again.
