A member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jones Onyereri, stated that the party is facing a direct clash between illegality and constitutional orders.
Onyereri made this remark on Monday during an interview on Arise Television, which was monitored by DAILY POST.
His comments come in light of the expulsion of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), along with his associates from the party.
According to DAILY POST, the PDP made these decisions during its national convention held in Ibadan, including actions involving National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu and former Governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayose.
In response to the situation, Onyereri remarked, “The actions taken by the PDP at the convention, especially the expulsion of members, represent a reckless and unconstitutional maneuver.
“This was not party administration; it was simply political theater. Section 57 of the party’s constitution lays out a clear procedure for disciplining members, which was not adhered to.”
