Wike's Faction Sets Conditions for PDP Reconciliation

The faction of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by Nyesom Wike has set forth conditions for reconciliation with the rival Turaki faction, as the party grapples with a leadership crisis. The caretaker committee, chaired by Abdulrahman Mohammed, is currently in control following a court appeal that nullified the November 16, 2025, national convention.

The Wike faction demands recognition of the caretaker committee's leadership structure and adherence to the announced timelines for upcoming congresses and presidential primaries scheduled for March 28-29. Wike has urged members of the Turaki faction to clarify their intentions for peace and has dismissed claims of being a mole within the PDP.

The Turaki faction, led by Senate President Adolphus Wabara, has expressed willingness to pursue reconciliation and has formed a committee to facilitate this process. The ongoing power struggle continues to impact the party's unity and future electoral strategies.
