The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a stern warning to its members, including Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, stating that any actions that violate the party’s constitution could lead to sanctions.
This comes in response to Wike’s recent comments during a television interview where he denied knowledge of the party’s upcoming elective national convention scheduled for November.
Wike expressed strong reservations, claiming he had not received any formal notification from the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) and warned that he and his political allies would resist any form of perceived injustice.
“If there’s an elective convention, I am not aware of it. No NEC notice has been served to me and if anyone tries to play games, we’ll challenge it,” Wike stated.
In a swift response, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, rejected Wike’s assertions.
He confirmed that the NEC was properly convened, notices were duly issued, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had been formally notified of the event.
Ologunagba reiterated that the national convention would hold as scheduled in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025, and that all preparations were progressing smoothly.
He emphasized that while the party welcomes all members, it expects loyalty and discipline from everyone.
“A political party is a voluntary association. People are free to join or leave, but those who remain must respect the rules and constitution,” Ologunagba warned.
