A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) backed by Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on Tuesday endorsed the expulsion of three governors over alleged anti-party activities.
The faction ratified the removal of Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo; Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi; Dauda Lawal, governor of Zamfara; Adolphus Wabara, former chair of the board of trustees (BoT); Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, former minister; Taofeek Arapaja, deputy national chairman (south); and other key members.
The decision was taken at the 103rd meeting of the national executive committee (NEC) held at the PDP headquarters in Abuja.
Mohammed Abdulrahman, acting national chairman, said the expulsions followed repeated violations of subsisting court orders, which he argued had undermined the party.
The NEC also affirmed the dissolution of party executives in Bauchi, Oyo, Zamfara, Yobe, Lagos, and Ekiti, while approving the existing structure in Edo.
