Chaos Erupts at Taraba PDP Congress Over Chairmanship

The Taraba State congress of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) witnessed significant turmoil when the congress committee announced two different individuals as party chairmen. Initially, Victor Samuel Falack was declared the consensus chairman, which was met with applause and satisfaction from the delegates present.

However, the situation escalated dramatically when a member of the congress committee arrived from Abuja and announced a different individual as the party chairman, causing confusion among the delegates. This sudden reversal led to heated exchanges and protests at the congress venue, with aggrieved party members demanding clarification and expressing their dissatisfaction with the committee's actions.

The protests included chants insisting that the earlier declaration of Falack as the consensus candidate be respected. The situation remained tense, and the final outcome of the congress was uncertain, prompting party members to call on the national leadership of the PDP for urgent intervention to clarify the conflict and prevent further crises within the party in Taraba State.
