Nyesom Wike Declared PDP 'National Leader' Sparks Party Controversy
Nyesom Wike, the FCT Minister, was unilaterally declared as the PDP's 'National Leader' by a faction led by George Turnah, causing a rift within the party. Turnah justified this move by citing Wike's high-ranking position in the federal government.
This declaration comes amidst disputes over the legitimacy of the faction and its claims, with Kabiru Turaki's mainstream faction also contesting leadership. The controversy escalated as the party failed to conduct the required congress at the recent national convention in Ibadan.
