Wike, Adeleke at risk as PDP threatens members endorsing Tinubu

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reviewed the anti-party activities of certain party members, particularly those who endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027.

The PDP stated that it is concerned about the persistent public media outbursts against it by some prominent members whose actions and utterances, including their public declaration of support and willingness to work for the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 Presidential election in violation of the provision of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017), constitute a serious threat to the stability and sustenance of the party.

The party cited Section 10 (6) of the PDP Constitution, which provides that “NO MEMBER of the Party SHALL align with other parties or groups to undermine the Party or any of its elected government”.

MyNigeria gathered that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, have, apparently, endorsed Tinubu for a second term.

Reacting to such endorsements, the PDP said, "Such anti-party activities have continued to impact negatively on the PDP leading to division, disaffection and heavy hemorrhaging of members with the capacity to diminish our Party’s electoral fortune if not immediately checked.

"In the light of the foregoing and the instancy of protecting and preserving the existence of our Party and its electoral fortune, the NWC, pursuant to the provisions of Section 59 (1) of the PDP Constitution hereby issues a strong reprimand against such anti-party activities and cautions those involved to retrace their steps or face stiffer sanctions as provided in the PDP Constitution.

"The NWC charges all members of the Party to remain loyal, focused and continue to work assiduously towards the successful conduct of the PDP National Convention scheduled to hold on the 15th and 16th November, 2025 in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital."
