BREAKING: PDP BoT Convenes Emergency Meeting to Address Worsening Party Crisis

Several prominent party figures have arrived for the high-level discussions, including BoT Chairman Senator Adolphus Wabara, Secretary Senator Ahmed Makarfi, and former Governors Achike Udenwa, Sam Egwu, Babangida Aliyu, Senator Ben Obi, and Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola.

Their presence underscores the urgency of finding a lasting solution to the leadership turmoil.

Sources indicate that the meeting will explore strategies to navigate the legal complexities surrounding the party’s leadership structure.

The PDP has faced a series of internal legal battles, with various factions claiming legitimacy over key positions, further deepening the crisis.

Beyond addressing the court judgments, the BoT members are also expected to deliberate on ways to strengthen party unity and enhance its position ahead of upcoming political engagements.

The PDP has been striving to maintain stability despite ongoing internal wrangling, and party stakeholders are keen on charting a way forward.

Stop attacking APC and Wike – PDP faction warns own governor

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the People’s Democratic Party Youth Frontiers Network (PDP-YFN) had issued a stern warning to Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, urging him to cease actions they described as disgraceful to the party or step down.

The group criticized the governor’s conduct, particularly his recent verbal attack on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

In a statement released in Abuja and signed by its National President, Comrade Isah Ibrahim, the PDP-YFN accused Bala Mohammed of dragging the party’s reputation through the mud.

“Bala Mohammed should either stop disgracing the PDP as he is currently doing or quit the party for its loyal members and leaders to reposition it,” the statement read.

“His persistence in abusing the PDP to criticize government policies that he does not understand, as was the case with the tax reform bills, has diminished the party’s standing in the eyes of Nigerians.”

Also, Legit.ng had reported that Bala Mohammed, the Bauchi state governor, had criticised Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister Nyesom Wike over his recent comments.

During a chat with the media recently, Wike took a swipe at the governor and chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
