Lagos PDP faction suspends Bode George and 23 others

A faction of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that supports the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has suspended former Deputy National Chairman Bode George and 23 other members for alleged anti‑party activities.

The suspension was announced in a statement released on Friday and signed by Kayode Ogunbiyi, Chairman of the party’s disciplinary committee in Lagos State, and Desmond Agbo, the committee’s secretary.

According to the statement, the action was taken after the party concluded it could no longer tolerate activities that could create division and disaffection among its members.

The disciplinary committee said the decision followed its meeting on 26 May 2026, during which it reviewed several petitions alleging anti‑party activities and violations of the PDP constitution.

“The decision to suspend George and other erring members was contained in the resolution of the meeting held on Tuesday, 26 May 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 in part.

The committee also said it revisited an earlier disciplinary action reportedly taken against George by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) and upheld the decision.

“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.

Other members suspended include Aduke Maina, Abimbola Ogunkelu, Laja Adeoye, Tunji Shele, Sunday Olaifa, Gbenga Adegbesan, Rita Orji, Kofoworola Bucknor and Onikepo Oshodi, among others.

The statement noted that the disciplinary committee also examined cases involving members allegedly working with rival political parties or participating in unauthorised political activities considered detrimental to the interests of the PDP.

It further stated that all suspended members would no longer be allowed to participate in party activities within Lagos State or represent the PDP in any official or unofficial capacity.

The party also warned that legal action could be taken against any suspended member found acting in a manner contrary to the PDP’s interests in the state.
