Expelled National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Samuel Anyanwu, has said that the recent party national convention is a jamboree and illegal.
Anyanwu who stated this in an interview on Sunday, few hours after the PDP expelled him and other chieftains of the party, added that with the absence of several states from the convention, the event, which ran from Saturday to early Sunday, cannot be said to be all-inclusive.
Anyanwu said, “16 states had not even done their congresses; the entire South-East has not done their congress, suggesting that all that happened on Saturday was a jamboree. Even the ones done earlier have not been communicated to INEC.”
“When I heard somebody at the convention celebrating, having their jamboree, saying that we must obey the rules of the party, I laughed.”
Recall that PDP held its 2025 convention between Saturday and Sunday, expelling the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike; a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose; Anyanwu, its national secretary; and others for anti-party activities.
The PDP also dissolved party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom and Rivers states.
Recall also that a chieftain of the PDP, Bode George, moved the motion for the expulsion of 11 key members, referencing what he described as activities inconsistent with the party’s collective interest as reasons for the move.
The motion was seconded by the PDP chairman in Bauchi State while the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, put the vote forward for members to adopt and ratify the expulsion of those involved, and it was unanimously accepted.
