Wike-backed PDP faction calls for emergency BoT, NEC meetings

In another twist to the crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the faction loyal to Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has summoned an emergency meeting of the party’s Board of Trustees and National Executive Committee for November 18, 2025.

This was contained in a notice issued on Monday by the factional National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and shared by the media aide to the FCT minister, Lere Olayinka, via his X handle.

According to the notice, both meetings are scheduled to take place at the NEC Hall of the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.

The notice indicated that the Board of Trustees meeting will commence at 11:00 a.m., followed by the NEC meeting at 2:00 p.m.

It further stressed that “attendance is very important as crucial matters will be discussed and addressed.”

The motion for their expulsion was moved by former PDP Deputy National Chairman (South) Bode George and seconded by Bauchi State PDP Chairman Samaila Buga.
