PDP Crisis: Turaki Faction Criticizes INEC Over Wike's Recognition
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is embroiled in a leadership crisis between factions led by Kabiru Turaki and Nyesom Wike. Turaki's faction has criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for recognizing Wike's camp, calling it unconstitutional and provocative.
Following a court ruling nullifying a PDP convention, Wike's faction established a caretaker committee, prompting legal disputes and appeals. Turaki's faction plans to challenge INEC's recognition of Wike's group.
The situation remains tense as both factions claim leadership legitimacy within the party.
