PDP Crisis Gets Messier As Wike’s Camp Begins Move To Expel All Atiku’s Loyalists Across 36 States.
The internal crisis rocking the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a more contentious turn, with Nyesom Wike’s faction reportedly initiating efforts to sideline and expel supporters of Atiku Abubakar, the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, across the 36 states of the federation.
Sources within the party reveal that Wike’s camp, which has thrown its weight behind acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, is escalating its strategy to tighten its grip on the party’s structure by targeting Atiku loyalists.
Measures under consideration include suspensions and expulsions at state, local government, and ward levels. The move reflects deepening divisions within the PDP, with Wike’s loyalists aiming to consolidate their influence and eliminate opposition, particularly critics of Damagum’s leadership of the National Working Committee (NWC).
Among those reportedly in the faction’s sights is Ikenga Ugochinyere, a PDP lawmaker known for his outspoken criticism. Party insiders suggest that his clashes with the Wike camp have made him a prominent target in the faction’s bid to assert dominance.
