PDP IN TURMOIL: CHAOS, INFIGHTING, AND EMERGENCY MEETING AS PARTY CRISIS DEEPENS!
PDP IN TURMOIL: CHAOS, INFIGHTING, AND EMERGENCY MEETING AS PARTY CRISIS DEEPENS!
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is on the brink of implosion as its elected governors rush to Asaba, Delta State, for an emergency meeting on Friday to tackle the escalating crisis threatening to tear the party apart.
This urgent meeting follows Wednesday’s chaotic Board of Trustees (BoT) gathering in Abuja, where violence erupted after supporters of Senator Samuel Anyanwu physically attacked former Youth Leader Sunday Ude-Okoye.
According to party insiders, the Asaba meeting—convened by Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed—is a desperate attempt to salvage the party from total disarray. Key issues on the agenda include the urgent need for a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, unresolved leadership struggles, the controversial National Secretary crisis, and the deteriorating unity within the party.
Acting PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagum, did not hold back in his condemnation of the chaos, blaming party leaders for fueling division instead of fostering unity. Addressing the BoT, he lamented, “This crisis is being propelled by our own leaders who should be uniting us. Some people are deliberately creating disorder for their personal ambitions.”
Damagum vowed to push forward with the NEC meeting in February, as demanded by the PDP Governors Forum, warning party members against actions that could disrupt ongoing processes, including zonal congresses.
The deepening rift within the PDP has been festering since the 2023 elections, with many blaming Damagum for his alleged allegiance to Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike. The party’s structures—from the National Working Committee (NWC) to the BoT and state chapters—are now in open conflict, with members aligning themselves with rival factions. Wike and Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed have been engaged in a public war of words, further fueling tensions.
The BoT meeting itself was marred by dramatic scenes when Ude-Okoye, recently affirmed by the Court of Appeal in Enugu as the rightful PDP National Secretary, was forcibly removed from the meeting by Anyanwu’s supporters. The commotion escalated, forcing security operatives—including police, civil defense, soldiers, and DSS officers—to intervene before order was restored.
BoT Chairman, Adolphus Wabara, expressed frustration over the party’s inability to resolve its internal conflicts, warning that personal ambitions should not overshadow the survival of the PDP. “The failure to resolve these conflicts undermines our strength and credibility,” Wabara stated. He demanded that the NEC meeting proceed as scheduled in February, warning that further delays could irreparably damage the party’s future.
Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has seized the moment to mock the PDP, with its National Publicity Director, Bala Ibrahim, branding the crisis as “entertaining” and proof that the PDP is incapable of leadership. “The PDP is not even capable of managing itself, let alone the country. They should come to the APC Progressives Institute to learn real politics,” he taunted.
As the PDP governors prepare for Friday’s high-stakes meeting in Asaba, party faithful are left wondering: Can the PDP be saved from itself, or is this the beginning of the end for Nigeria’s main opposition party?
