The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, faction loyal to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, held its first National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting at the party’s headquarters, Wadata Plaza, Abuja, on Monday.
Recall that the PDP secretariat was sealed in November last year after a clash between the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee, NWC, and the Abdulrahman Mohammed-led caretaker committee.
Both factions were laying claim to the party’s leadership.
However, an Appeal Court, in March, invalidated the Ibadan convention that produced the Turaki-led leadership.
Today, Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, posted a two minutes 16 seconds long video on his X (Twitter) handle, showing Wike arriving the party’s national secretariat.
He was then joined by other party elders and state representatives.
Expected to be at the Abdulrahman Mohammed-led faction meeting are former Senate President Bukola Saraki, and former Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu.
