Speaking to journalists at the PDP headquarters after gaining entry into the premises, Turaki explained that the postponement “became necessary following what he described as ‘incidents caused by the enemies of progress and democracy.’”
He stated: “Due to some incidents caused by those who are the enemies of progress, the enemies of democracy, we have decided to postpone this meeting till tomorrow.”

The PDP faction led by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State held a national convention in Ibadan where it “elected a former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Kabiru Turaki (SAN), as its national chairman.”
During the convention on November 15, the party expelled FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, and the national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, “from the party for anti-party activities.”
Other chieftains expelled were Umar Bature, Adeyemi Ajibade (SAN), Mohammed Abdulrahman, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, Austine Nwachukwu, Abraham Amah, George Turner, and Chief Dan Orbih.
A chieftain of the PDP, Bode George, “had moved the motion for the expulsion of 11 key members, citing what he described as activities inconsistent with the party’s collective interest as reasons for the move.”
