The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued certificates of expulsion to 11 former members of the party, who were expelled recently.
The new national chairman of the party, Tanimu Turaki, SAN, disclosed this on Tuesday while speaking with journalists on developments within the party.
He said the certificates of expulsion have been sent to the affected persons through courier service.
Some of those affected persons are the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike; former Governor Ayo Fayose; former PDP national secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and Umaru Bature, among others.
“We have also considered the issue of members of our party who were expelled by the National Convention in Ibadan. We have taken note of the fact that Nigerian law frowns on dual membership of political parties, and so we have sought to make it easy for them.
“Now that they are no longer members of our party, and now that the National Convention—which is the highest decision-making organ of our party—has expelled them, we have decided to issue them certificates of expulsion, so that, when they go to register with other political parties in Nigeria, they will show these certificates as proof that they are no longer members of the PDP, and so those parties will not accuse them of trying to belong to more than one political party.
“Distinguished members of the press, as I speak to you, these certificates have been dispatched via courier to the 11 persons who have been expelled.”
Turaki, who displayed the party’s copies of all the certificates to journalists, said: “This is the certificate of expulsion of His Excellency Nyesom Wike. An original copy has gone to him via courier.
“This is the certificate of His Excellency Ayodele Fayose; it has also been sent to him through courier. This is proof that he has been expelled from the PDP. Next is the certificate of distinguished Senator Samuel Anyanwu; it has been sent to him via courier.
“Next is the certificate of expulsion of Honourable Umaru Bature; that has also been sent to him via courier. Next is the certificate of Kamarudeen Ajibade, Senior Advocate of Nigeria; that has also been sent to him via courier.
“Next is that of Abdurahman Muhammad; it has also been sent to him via courier.
The next one is for Senator Mao Ohuabunwa; it has been sent to him via courier services.
The next one is for Mr Austin Nwachukwu; his certificate of expulsion has also been sent to him via courier.
“The next is that of Abraham Amah Nnanna; it has been sent to him via courier. Second to the last is that of George Turna; this certificate has also been sent to him via courier services. I am sure some of them have already received theirs.
Last but not least is that of Chief Dan Orbih; it has been sent to him through courier.”

These expulsions are final and irrevocable.”
The Chairman assured all loyal members that the PDP under his leadership will:
• Immediately commence healing and reconciliation among genuine members
• Enforce party discipline without fear or favour
• Rebuild structures across the 36 states and FCT
• Present a formidable, united front against the failed APC administration
“The PDP is alive, strong, and marching to victory in 2027. No amount of money, blackmail, or intimidation will stop us,” Turaki declared.
