Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has distanced himself from the expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike.
Daily Trust had reported how Wike alongside Senator Samuel Anyanwu and ex-Governor Ayodele Fayose were expelled from the party at the ongoing convention in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
Chief Olabode George, former National Vice Chairman of the party (South) moved the motion for the expulsion while Hon Samaila Burga, Chairman of the PDP in Bauchi, seconded it.
Earlier, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State, who chaired the organising committee of the convention, had kicked against Wike’s expulsion.
Like Fintiri, Mutfwang also dissociated himself from the action.
He said the decision to expel them was neither discussed by Governors Forum nor the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) before the motion was presented, and so the proposal did not reflect his position on the matter.
Mutfwang’s view was contained in a press statement, made available to newsmen by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere.The governor said expelling the party leaders at this crucial time is not a strategic step towards resolving the internal challenges currently confronting the PDP.
He reiterated his call for dialogue, and collective effort in rebuilding and repositioning the party.
