ABUJA – The camp of former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has dismissed his expulsion from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), characterizing the party’s national convention in Ibadan as “Dirty December in November.”
Lere Olayinka, spokesperson for the FCT Minister, responded to the expulsion of Wike and former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose by suggesting the convention attendees were focused on social revelry rather than serious political business. “They went to Ibadan to start their own Dirty December in November,” Olayinka stated, implying that statements made at the event should not be taken seriously.
The PDP had earlier expelled Wike, Fayose, and several other prominent members for alleged anti-party activities during its convention. The move, championed by party leaders including Chief Bode George and Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed, occurred despite several court orders attempting to halt the convention.
