A faction of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party loyal to Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has suspended former Deputy National Chairman Bode George and 23 other members over alleged anti-party activities.
The suspension was announced in a statement issued on Friday, May 29, and signed by the chairman of the party’s disciplinary committee in Lagos State, Kayode Ogunbiyi, and the committee’s secretary, Desmond Agbo.
According to the statement, the action followed a review of petitions alleging anti-party activities and violations of the PDP constitution, with the committee concluding that it could no longer tolerate actions capable of creating division and disaffection within the party.
“The decision to suspend George and other erring members was contained in the resolution of the meeting held on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, where various petitions were presented against certain notable personalities and other members bordering on issues of anti-party activities and deliberate infractions of the PDP Constitution,” the statement read.
The committee said it also reviewed a previous disciplinary action reportedly taken against George and reaffirmed that position.
“The Committee also reviewed the action previously taken against former Chief Olabode George by the National Executive Committee, which suspended him from the party, and reaffirmed that he remains suspended as earlier pronounced,” it added.
Several other party members were also affected by the disciplinary measure, with the committee stating that it examined cases involving individuals allegedly working with rival political parties or participating in unauthorised political activities deemed harmful to the PDP’s interests.
The statement further noted that all suspended members would be barred from participating in party activities in Lagos State and would not be permitted to represent the PDP in any official or unofficial capacity. The faction also warned that legal action could be taken against any suspended member found acting in a manner contrary to the interests of the party in the state.
