Factions No Longer Exist In PDP, Wike Declares After Supreme Court Verdict
About The Author
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared an end to factionalism in the Peoples Democratic Party following the Supreme Court’s dismissal of the appeal by the Kabiru Turaki-led group over the Ibadan National Convention.
”The Supreme Court judgment has now made it known there is only one PDP, and we no longer hear faction,” Wike declared. “Faction does not exist any longer in the Peoples Democratic Party.”
The apex court voided the PDP national convention held in Ibadan on November 15-16, 2025, which produced the Tanimu Turaki-led executives.
“I don’t know where they are going to pitch their tent,” he said.
The FCT minister reaffirmed that the convention of the Abdulrahman-led group remains valid.
That convention, held in March 2026 and backed by Wike’s camp, re-elected Abdulrahman Mohammed and other members of the National Working Committee.
Wike also said they will not admit the Atiku Abubakar-aligned group of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the PDP.
He described them as electoral liabilities, not electoral assets.
