The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued expulsion certificates to 11 former members recently removed from the party.
PDP’s new national chairman, Tanimu Turaki, SAN, confirmed the development on Tuesday while briefing journalists on party matters.
He noted that the certificates have been delivered to the affected individuals via courier.
Among those expelled are the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike; former Governor Ayo Fayose; former PDP national secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu; Umaru Bature, and several others.

“We have also considered the issue of members of our party who were expelled by the National Convention in Ibadan. We have taken note of the fact that Nigerian law frowns on dual membership of political parties, and so we have sought to make it easy for them.
“Now that they are no longer members of our party, and now that the National Convention—which is the highest decision-making organ of our party—has expelled them, we have decided to issue them certificates of expulsion, so that, when they go to register with other political parties in Nigeria, they will show these certificates as proof that they are no longer members of the PDP, and so those parties will not accuse them of trying to belong to more than one political party.
“Distinguished members of the press, as I speak to you, these certificates have been dispatched via courier to the 11 persons who have been expelled.”
Turaki, who displayed the party’s copies of all the certificates to journalists, said: “This is the certificate of expulsion of His Excellency Nyesom Wike. An original copy has gone to him via courier.
“This is the certificate of His Excellency Ayodele Fayose; it has also been sent to him through courier. This is proof that he has been expelled from the PDP. Next is the certificate of distinguished Senator Samuel Anyanwu; it has been sent to him via courier.
“Next is the certificate of expulsion of Honourable Umaru Bature; that has also been sent to him via courier. Next is the certificate of Kamarudeen Ajibade, Senior Advocate of Nigeria; that has also been sent to him via courier.
“Next is the certificate of expulsion of Honourable Umaru Bature; that has also been sent to him via courier. Next is the certificate of Kamarudeen Ajibade, Senior Advocate of Nigeria; that has also been sent to him via courier.
“Next is that of Abdurahman Muhammad; it has also been sent to him via courier. The next one is for Senator Mao Ohuabunwa; it has been sent to him via courier services. The next one is for Mr Austin Nwachukwu; his certificate of expulsion has also been sent to him via courier.
“The next is that of Abraham Amah Nnanna; it has been sent to him via courier. Second to the last is that of George Turna; this certificate has also been sent to him via courier services. I am sure some of them have already received theirs. Last but not least is that of Chief Dan Orbih; it has been sent to him through courier.”
