PDP Crisis Deepens in North West Nigeria as Leaders Reject Consensus Candidate
The crisis within the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in North West Nigeria deepened as regional leaders rejected Kabiru Tanimu Turaki as a consensus candidate for the national chairman position. This rejection came after reports of the endorsement of Turaki by some Northern PDP stakeholders, including Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
The North West PDP leaders accused Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal of acting unilaterally in endorsing Turaki without proper consultation. The leaders emphasized the need for a transparent and consultative process in selecting candidates to avoid undermining internal democracy within the party.
The meeting also featured discussions on potential 2023 governorship candidates from the region. The disagreement among party leaders reflects ongoing divisions within the PDP, with factions loyal to different figures like Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike and Umar Damagum, the acting national chairman, ahead of the party's convention.
