PDP Convention Scheduled Amidst Leadership Disputes
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) plans to conduct its national convention on March 29-30, 2025, despite ongoing litigation regarding the legitimacy of previous conventions. Nyesom Wike's faction supports the convention, while Seyi Makinde's faction, led by Tanimu Turaki, opposes it, citing a lack of capacity and legal disputes.
The PDP's national caretaker committee, chaired by Moham Abdulrahman, has confirmed the convention's schedule, asserting that it will proceed as planned. The party is navigating a complex legal landscape, with a Federal High Court in Ibadan having annulled a previous convention held on November 15, 2025.
The factions are in conflict over leadership recognition, with the INEC declining to recognize either side amid ongoing disputes. Wike's faction has announced a new leadership election for February 3, 2025, while the party remains committed to organizing the convention despite the legal challenges, emphasizing that these issues will not hinder their activities.
