PDP Crisis: Tension Mounts as Rival Factions Plan Parallel NEC Meetings

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is embroiled in a leadership crisis as two rival factions, one led by Oyo State Governor and the other by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, are set to hold parallel National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings at the party's headquarters in Abuja. The factions are in a fierce contest following the expulsion of several loyalists, leading to a power struggle for control of the party's structures.

The situation escalated with the resignation of PDP Chairman Abubakar Bawa due to the litigations and leadership crisis.
