PDP Chieftain Accuses Wike of Imposing Conditions on Party Ahead of 2027 Elections
A People's Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Umar Sani, has alleged that Governor Wike imposed conditions on the party, preventing them from fielding a presidential candidate in the 2027 elections. This decision has caused internal turmoil within the party, resulting in the expulsion of Wike and others.
The factional disputes within the PDP escalated during a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, leading to the dissolution of state executive councils in several states. Governor Seyi Makinde was involved in a standoff with Wike, blocking his entrance to the party's secretariat.
The situation reflects growing tensions within the PDP ahead of the upcoming elections.
