PDP governors who boycotted Ibadan convention
Recall that the leading opposition, People's Democratic Party (PDP), held its national convention in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, on Saturday and Sunday, November 15 and 16.
It appeared all was not well with the party as no less than three governors of the PDP were absent at the crucial event.
At the event, the PDP announced the suspension of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose and its former national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
2 PDP governors reject Wike, Fayose, others' expulsion
Legit.ng also reported that two governors elected on the PDP platform rejected the expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, by the party's leaders at the national convention in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
The PDP suspended Wike, along with the former governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose, and the former national secretary of the party, Samuel Anyanwu.
The motion for the expulsion of the party leaders was moved by Olabode George, the former national vice chairman of the PDP. His motion was supported by Samaila Burga, the PDP chairman in Bauchi state.
