PDP Factions Clash Over National Secretariat Reopening Amid Leadership Dispute
A showdown is imminent within the People's Democratic Party (PDP) as factions led by Nyesom Wike and Tanimu Turaki clash over the reopening of the party's national secretariat at Wadata Plaza in Abuja. Wike's faction, supported by Samuel Anyanwu, announced the reopening, leading to tensions amid ongoing legal battles over the party's leadership structure.
Turaki's faction, backed by PDP governors like Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed, claims legitimacy from a PDP national convention in Ibadan in November 2025, despite a reported overturn by a Federal High Court judgment in Ibadan. The police intervened to enforce a court ruling to reopen the secretariat, warning against disruptions.
Senior caretaker committee members expressed confidence in security agencies upholding court orders. The dispute reflects a broader legal contest within the PDP.
