PDP Governors Resist Wike's Move to Dismantle Committees, Deepening Party Crisis

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is embroiled in a crisis as PDP governors, led by Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed, resist Nyesom Wike's faction's move to dismantle committees. Wike's group sought to dissolve key zonal structures, but the governors rejected this, citing a lack of constitutional authority.

The conflict escalated after a caretaker committee backed by Wike rescheduled the party's national convention. The situation intensified following a court ruling annulling a previous convention and ordering a halt to the actions of the Turaki-led National Working Committee.

The PDP remains divided, with both factions vying for control and influence within the party.
