Deji Adeyanju, the Nigerian activist lawyer, has described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a dead party.
Adeyanju was reacting to the decision of the party to expel the House of Representatives member from Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency of Imo State, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere.
He said PDP expelled Ugochinyere while the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is still a member of the party.
PDP had expelled the spokesman of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) for alleged gross indiscipline, insubordination, and anti-party activities.
His expulsion was contained in a letter from the Ideato LGA chapter of PDP, dated December 5, 2024, and signed by the LGA Chairman, Hon. ThankGod Okeke, and the Secretary, Onyebuchi Umeh.
The letter was addressed to the state chairman.
His expulsion followed the report of the party’s disciplinary committee, dated November 27, 2024, which investigated misconduct charges against Ugochinyere in line with Section 57 (1-4) of the PDP constitution 2017, as amended.
However, posting on X, Adeyanju wrote: “Ikenga Ugochinyere, the courageous one, has been expelled for anti-party by APC moles who are in charge of PDP, but Wike is still a member of the PDP.
“The jokes write themselves daily. The PDP is a dead party awaiting funeral rites.”
