Turaki and Wike Factions Clash at PDP Secretariat Triggering Chaos and Violence
A clash between the Turaki and Wike factions at the PDP secretariat in Nigeria resulted in chaos, violence, and disruption of traffic. Turaki's faction, accompanied by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, accused Wike of mobilizing thugs and police to attack party officials.
Turaki even called for urgent international intervention, including from U.S. President Donald Trump.
The situation escalated with fistfights, tear gas, and gunshots, prompting calls for the protection of democracy and party officials. Allegations of an attempt to destroy the party were also made, with a plea for restraint from FCT Minister Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
