PDP Crisis Deepens as 3,000 Delegates Head to Ibadan for National Convention

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is embroiled in a deepening crisis as over 3,000 delegates prepare to storm Ibadan, Oyo State, for a national convention scheduled for November 15-16, 2025. The convention, meant to be a unifying event, has turned into a battleground for power struggles between two entrenched faction camps led by Umar Damagum and Nyesom Wike.

The crisis escalated further with a court order restraining the convention, but both factions claim legitimacy, leaving the party deeply divided. Key figures involved include Umar Damagum, Nyesom Wike, Justic Jame Omotosho, and Samuel Anyanwu.
