PDP Crisis Deepens as Governors Reject Wike-Backed Faction's Moves
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is embroiled in a deepening crisis as a faction supported by Nyesom Wike faces rejection from a group of PDP governors. The faction, led by Wike, announced a rescheduling of the party's national convention, which was met with opposition from governors like Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed.
The conflict stems from the legitimacy of the caretaker committee appointed by Wike, which dissolved zonal structures and faced legal challenges. The situation escalated following a court ruling annulling a previous national convention and restraining Tanimu Turaki's group.
The party remains divided over leadership appointments and convention planning, leading to uncertainty ahead of the 2027 general elections.
