PDP Considers Consensus Approach Ahead of Ibadan Convention to Prevent Disunity

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is considering a consensus approach ahead of its Ibadan convention to avoid the rancor that followed the 2022 presidential primary. The party aims to prevent a repeat of the disunity that led to defections and impacted its performance in the 2023 general election.

Key figures like Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, and Nyesom Wike are involved in the party's efforts to unify and strengthen ahead of future elections. There are discussions within the PDP Governors Forum to address demands from Wike's camp, including the recognition of Chief Dan Orbih as the party's Zonal Chairman.

Failure to address these issues could deepen the party's crisis, according to Wike.
