Oyewumi, the senator representing the Osun West Senatorial District of Osun State, asserted that the expulsion of individuals from the party is frequently subject to political manipulation. He emphasized that the party's leadership had the necessary discernment to make appropriate decisions in this regard.
During a press conference held in Ikire on Friday, the individual expressed his views in response to inquiries posed by media.
There have been demands for the temporary removal of Nyesom Wike, a prominent member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under President Bola Tinubu.
Daniel Bwala, a former adviser to Abubakar Atiku, the presidential candidate representing the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming 2023 general elections, made a public declaration on a national television platform on the potential expulsion of Wike from the party, to be executed at a suitable juncture.
According to Oyewumi, Wike is regarded as a famous politician who previously served as the governor of Rivers State, where the People's Democratic Party (PDP) had notable success in the last election. He was among the governors affiliated with the People's Democratic Party (PDP) who consistently attended all party events and activities.
It is plausible that Governor Wike may be responding to certain concerns, nevertheless, I am certain that the party leadership and the national working committee are effectively managing the situation.
The act of removing individuals is occasionally exaggerated and subject to political manipulation. However, it is my belief that the party's leadership possesses the necessary discernment to make appropriate decisions at the appropriate juncture, with the ultimate aim of improving the party's overall condition.
