Another governor of the Peoples Democratic who was at the PDP’s national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, where the expulsion of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike; Ekiti State goveronr, Ayo Fayose, and nine other leaders of the part were expelled, has come out to distance himself from the decision.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State distanced himself in a statement on Saturday night, saying the governors of the party and the National Executive Council of the party never discussed the matter before the convention.
In a statement, Gyang Bere, the Director of Press and Public Affairs for the governor, stated that the expulsion of Wike and others was never a topic of discussion at the PDP Governors Forum or the NEC before the motion was introduced.
The statement reads: “The Executive Governor of Plateau State, Mr Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has formally distanced himself from the expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike; former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose; Samuel Anyanwu alongside other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“IGovernor Mutfwang clarified that this subject was neither discussed by PDP Governors Forum nor at NEC before the motion was presented. He emphasized that the proposal does not reflect his position on the matter.
“Governor Mutfwang further noted that expelling the party leaders at this crucial time is not a strategic step towards resolving the internal challenges currently confronting the PDP. He reiterated the need for unity, dialogue, and collective effort in rebuilding and repositioning the party.”
