PDP Convention Amid Crisis; Kwankwaso Joins ADC

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is scheduled to hold its national convention today, Sunday, in Abuja, despite facing significant internal crises. The party is experiencing a split among its state chairmen, particularly with factions loyal to the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nysem Wike.

Toni Aziegbemi, the chairman of the Edo State chapter and a member of the forum of state chairmen, indicated that the convention would not proceed due to ongoing legal issues pending before the Supreme Court. In a related political development, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP), is expected to formally announce his transition to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday in Kano, as reported by credible sources.

This move is anticipated to have implications for the political landscape in the region.
