A PDP faction supported by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has dissolved the party’s National Working Committee and inaugurated a 13-member caretaker panel.
Key Points
The caretaker committee was inaugurated at a NEC meeting held at Wike’s residence.
The panel, chaired by Abdulrahman Mohammed, will manage party affairs for 60 days.
The move comes as the tenure of the PDP NWC elected in 2021 expires on Tuesday.
A rival faction led by Governors Bala Mohammed and Seyi Makinde expelled Wike last month.
The Wike faction has since formed parallel NWC, BoT, and NEC structures.
In retaliation, the Wike group expelled members of the Makinde-Turaki faction.
The deepening split threatens the PDP’s cohesion ahead of future elections.
As parallel structures emerge and expulsions multiply, the PDP’s internal war reveals a party not just divided, but actively dismantling itself from within, one factional move at a time.
