In a sweeping decision aimed at rebuilding cohesion ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled several prominent members for alleged anti-party activities. The announcement was made during the party’s highly anticipated 2025 National Convention taking place in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to delegates at the convention, the disciplinary action marks a turning point in the party’s attempt to reassert internal discipline after years of internal friction, factional disagreements, and widening ideological divides.

An overwhelming majority of delegates ratified the expulsion, signaling broad support for the leadership’s renewed stance against perceived sabotage, misconduct, and activities deemed detrimental to the PDP’s unity.

In what has been described as one of the most decisive actions in PDP’s recent history, the party confirmed the expulsion of several influential figures, including:
