PDP Chairman Appeals to Trump Over Party Crisis in Nigeria

The Chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Turaki, has sought intervention from US President Trump amidst a crisis within the party in Nigeria. Turaki accused Nyesom Wike of mobilizing thugs to disrupt party processes, leading to heightened tensions and clashes at the party headquarters.

Factional rivalries intensified with parallel meetings and confrontations, including a physical altercation. The situation deteriorated further as police fired tear gas to disperse agitated party members.

The internal conflict within the PDP remains unresolved, with factions vying for control of the party's leadership and secretariat.
