PDP Defies Wike Group, Confirms November 15 Convention in Ibadan

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is standing firm on holding its national convention on November 15 in Ibadan, despite opposition from the Wike group led by Nyesom Wike. The party announced its decision in Abuja, defying calls to move the event elsewhere.

The development highlights internal power struggles within the PDP, with the Wike group pushing for a national chairmanship position. The party's insistence on Ibadan as the convention venue showcases a test of popularity and control within the party's ranks.
