A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has described the recent national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ibadan, Oyo State as a perfect 2025 Christmas gift to all lovers of multi- party demcracy.
Eze stated this in a statement on Monday, while reacting to the outcome of the PDP national convention.
He congratulated the PDP leaders who stood their grounds against all odds to ensure that the convention was a huge success, moreso with the decisive step they took to weed out elements that were bent on suffocating the party.
Eze stated that the conduct of the national convention of the PDP was a victory towards the sustenance of Nigeria’s, already threatened democracy and, a big blow to President Bola Tinubu’s grand plot to derail Nigeria’s democracy into a one-party state.
“I congratulate genuine leaders of the PDP for the successful conduct of the Ibadan elective convention.
“In spite of the unpatriotic efforts of anti party forces and undemocratic elements led by Minister Nyesom Wike to thwart the convention, the will of God prevailed.
“Wike and his foot soldiers, apparently on a mission for the APC to annihilate the PDP and other opposition parties, forgot it was the same party that moulded and shaped their political portfolio and relevance in contemporary Nigeria.
“How will posterity look at Wike? Will history be kind and fair to Wike and his errand infantile loyalists, as they work round the clock to bring down a party that made them what they are today. Certainly, the answer is capital no” Eze stated.
Eze said though he is no longe a member of PDP however, as a democrat and patriotic Nigerian, it would be ill-advised of him to stand aloof and allow evil forces to obliterate a party they didn’t know how it was formed.
He commended a chieftain of the PDP, Bode George, who moved the motion, that was seconded by Bauchi State PDP state chairman, for the expulsion of the 11 key members of the party, citing what he described as activities inconsistent with the PDP’s collective interest as reasons for the decisive action.
For issuing the expulsion certificates to former governors Nyesom Wike, Ayodele Fayose and nine others, Eze described the excerise as truly a decisive move to sanitise its ranks ahead of the 2027 elections.

Eze said Nigerians should be thankful to the current leadership of the PDP for defying devilish plots, nefarious activities and the grand design to exterminate the PDP.
He argued that Wike used the PDP as a bargaining chip, stressing that after using the G-5 governors to gain political traction in the 2023 general election, he was rewarded by Tinubu with a juicy ministerial portfolio.
“Ahead the 2027 general elections, Wike wants to remain relevant in Tinubu’s political equation by ensuring he takes life out of PDP,” Eze emphasised.
However, he contended that the success recorded at the Ibadan convention unsettled, and rattled Wike and his co-undemocratic forces.
“They don’t want any strong opposition, they want to kill and bury PDP in the Mediterranean gulf, just to actualize President Tinubu’s grand plot of foisting a one party state on Nigerians,” he added.
