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?

Three Years On, General Buratai Hails Tinubu’s Economic, Security Achievements
Three Years On, General Buratai Hails Tinubu’s Economic, Security Achievements
Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as bold economic reforms and improved security efforts as the President marks three years in office.
In a goodwill message on Thursday to commemorate Tinubu’s third anniversary as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Buratai said the administration had taken courageous decisions that would leave a lasting impact on Nigeria’s development.
According to him, President Tinubu broke a long-standing cycle that had hindered national growth by removing fuel subsidy and implementing foreign exchange reforms aimed at stabilising the naira and strengthening the economy.
He noted that the reforms were beginning to yield positive results, citing the global acceptance of Nigerian debit cards, the gradual revival of local refineries, access to student loans, and ongoing road and infrastructure projects across the country.
“The FCT Administration has also recorded remarkable progress, completing major road projects that remained unfinished for over 16 years,” Buratai stated.
The former army chief also praised the administration’s security efforts, saying renewed military offensives against insurgents, terrorists and bandits had led to notable successes across various parts of the country.
He specifically lauded recent joint operations involving Nigerian and United States forces against Boko Haram and ISWAP in the North-East, as well as intensified counter-banditry operations in the North-West.
“We have seen notorious ISWAP commanders being neutralised. I congratulate the Commander-in-Chief, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police and heads of intelligence agencies for their efforts,” he said.
Buratai, however, acknowledged that challenges remained, stressing the need for more aggressive military operations and intelligence-driven strategies in the coming year.
While urging Nigerians to remain hopeful, he said celebrating the President’s achievements did not amount to ignoring the difficulties facing the nation.
“Because you truly care, you have shown the courage to trade short-term comfort for long-term hope. Nigerians need your reassurances, and that is why we remain optimistic and full of confidence,” he added.
The retired military officer reaffirmed his support for the Tinubu administration and expressed confidence that the foundation being laid by the government would deliver a brighter future for the country.
He also prayed for God’s guidance, wisdom, strength and good health for the President as he continues to lead Nigeria.

NUT Raises Alarm Over Continued Captivity of Abducted Oyo Pupils, Teachers
NUT Raises Alarm Over Continued Captivity of Abducted Oyo Pupils, Teachers
The Nigeria Union of Teachers has expressed deep concern over the continued captivity of pupils and teachers abducted during an attack on schools in the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the Oyo State wing of the union described the situation as increasingly distressing, particularly following the emergence of a video allegedly released by the abductors showing the victims pleading for their freedom.
The union said the footage had heightened fears over the welfare of the abducted pupils and teachers, describing their ordeal as heartbreaking and unacceptable.
According to the NUT, no child or teacher deserves to be subjected to such traumatic experiences, adding that the prolonged captivity of the victims has continued to inflict psychological pain on their families, colleagues and the wider education community.
The union called on the Federal Government, Oyo State Government and relevant security agencies to intensify efforts towards securing the immediate and safe release of the victims.
“This is not a moment for hesitation. It is a moment for coordinated, intelligence-driven efforts to ensure the immediate and safe release of all abducted pupils and teachers,” the statement read.
While acknowledging ongoing interventions by security agencies and government authorities, the union stressed that time was of the essence, warning that every additional day in captivity deepens the trauma suffered by the victims.
The NUT urged security operatives to strengthen surveillance, improve community intelligence gathering and deploy all necessary operational and diplomatic measures to facilitate the rescue of the abductees.
It also appealed to traditional rulers, community leaders and residents to support rescue efforts by providing credible information that could assist security agencies.
“The safety of our children and teachers must remain a collective priority,” the union stated.
Reaffirming its support for the families of the victims, the NUT pledged continued solidarity and prayers while advocating safer learning environments across the country.
The statement was jointly signed by the Chairman of the Oyo State NUT, Comrade Hassan Ajibola Fatai, and the Secretary, Comrade Salami Olukayode.
