In a statement released on Thursday, signed by Turaki, the faction listed prominent figures. Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, and former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, were named. Nine other individuals were also included. They are no longer PDP members. They hold no office within the party.

The statement further warned the public. Any dealings with these listed persons carry significant risk. Such engagements are not authorised by the PDP.

Public Warning Issued

The disclaimer clearly stated: “Any interactions or representations made by these expelled members are not authorised by our great Party.” It concluded with a stern warning. “Therefore, members of the public dealing with these individuals are doing so at their own peril.”

The faction also reiterated warnings on Wednesday. It urged the public to be wary of impostors. These individuals might still parade themselves as party members, despite not being authorised.

The statement clarified the expulsion grounds. Affected individuals were expelled for alleged anti-party activities. Gross misconduct was also cited. The National Executive Committee sanctioned them on November 18. This action conforms with the amended 2017 PDP Constitution.
