Wike-Led Faction Threatens PDP Convention Over Demands

A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Nyesom Wike and allies threatened to disrupt the party's National Convention scheduled for November in Ibadan. The group issued a six-point demand, including calls for fresh congresses in Ebonyi and Anambra states, recognition of outcomes in the South-South Congress, and adherence to zoning arrangements.

They rejected attempts to deviate from established procedures, warning that failure to meet their demands could invalidate the convention. The faction's stance reflects internal tensions within the PDP, with a focus on upholding party rules and court judgments.
