PDP Caretaker Committee Backed by Wike Attends INEC Meeting Amid Leadership Disputes

The article reports that a People's Democratic Party (PDP) caretaker committee supported by Nyesom Wike participated in an INEC meeting in Abuja. This move followed a Federal High Court decision in Ibadan nullifying a PDP convention held in November 2025.

The court ruling affected the leadership structure of the party, leading to the establishment of a 13-member caretaker committee by Wike on December 8. The committee, led by Abdulrahman Moham and Samuel Anyanwu, was mandated to serve for 60 days.

Despite the court ruling, the PDP's leadership disputes persisted, prompting the caretaker committee to seek official recognition from INEC. The PDP's National Working Committee (NWC) under Tanimu Turaki was affected by the court ruling, leading to plans for a fresh convention to elect new NWC members.

INEC's involvement in resolving the party's internal crisis ahead of the upcoming 2027 general elections was highlighted.
