Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang has dissociated himself from the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) decision to expel Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and several other party leaders.
Governor Mutfwang, in a statement on Saturday by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere clarified that the issue was never discussed by the PDP Governors’ Forum or the National Executive Committee before the motion for expulsion was presented.
He stressed that the proposal does not reflect his position.
The statement read, “The Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency Barr. 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, Barr. Nyesom Wike, former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, and Senator Samuel Anyanwu, alongside other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”
Mutfwang reiterated that the matter was neither deliberated upon by the Governors’ Forum nor the NEC before being brought to the convention floor.
He emphasised that the expulsion of key party stakeholders at such a critical time was not a strategic solution to the party’s internal challenges.
He further stressed the need for unity, dialogue, and collective effort in rebuilding and repositioning the PDP for the future.
