PDP deems backing Tinubu incompatible with membership for Wike

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that supporting President Bola Tinubu is incompatible with party membership, addressing Nyesom Wike.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has informed Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, that backing President Bola Tinubu contradicts PDP membership rules. According to the party, this explains why Wike was expelled previously. Nigerians now have a clearer understanding of the expulsion reasons, as per PDP's statement.

This development highlights ongoing tensions within Nigerian politics between PDP and former members aligned with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Wike's role as FCT Minister under Tinubu's administration has been a point of contention since his departure from PDP.
