PDP Factional Crisis Deepens with Submission of Acting Chairman's Name to INEC

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is embroiled in a deepening crisis as a faction submits the name of an acting chairman to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This move comes amid court battles and protests over leadership issues within the party.

The crisis escalated following a court ruling allowing the party to proceed with its national convention scheduled for November 15-16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State. The factional dispute involves key figures like Nyesom Wike, Umar Damagum, and Moham Abdulrahman, with protests and calls for the removal of the current leadership.
