Wike-backed PDP faction schedules emergency BoT, NEC meetings November 18
The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has announced that an emergency meeting of the party’s Board of Trustees and National Executive Committee will take place on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
This was revealed in a notice issued on Monday by the factional National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and shared on X by the media aide to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka.
According to the announcement, both meetings will be held at the NEC Hall of the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.
The notice also indicated that the Board of Trustees meeting will commence at 11:00 a.m., while the National Executive Committee meeting is expected to begin at 2:00 p.m.
It added, “Attendance is very important as crucial matters will be discussed and addressed.”
Very Nigerian had earlier reported that the PDP, at its 2025 National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Saturday, expelled several high-profile members, including Wike, Anyanwu, former National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade, former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, Imo PDP Chairman Austin Nwachukwu, and others for alleged anti-party activities.
The motion for their expulsion was moved by former PDP Deputy National Chairman (South), Bode George, and seconded by the Bauchi State PDP Chairman, Samaila Buga.
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, who also chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, subsequently put the motion to a voice vote, which was overwhelmingly endorsed by delegates, signalling the party’s resolve to confront internal dissent and anti-party conduct within its ranks.
