Earlier this week, Wike’s camp described the convention holding in Oyo State as an ‘early Christmas party‘, while former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido assured that the convention will be illegal if they go on with it.

Meanwhile, another serving Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang of Plateau State dissociated himself from the expulsion of Nyesom Wike, Ayodele Fayose and others from the party. This was few minutes after Umaru Fintiri took the same position.

Muftwang said the expulsion of Wike and others was not discussed at their last Governor’s Forum and the action of the party was not a “strategy step toward in resolving the internal challenges currently confronting the PDP.”

He called for the need for a dialogue to resolve the internal crisis.
