PDP crisis: Makinde camp fumes as INEC recognises Wike bloc

Makinde

The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party escalated on Thursday following the Independent National Electoral Commission’s recognition of a caretaker committee backed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The move triggered outrage within the camp loyal to the PDP governors, led by Tanimu Turaki (SAN) as national chairman of the party.

On Thursday, the caretaker committee, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed and caretaker secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, were invited for the quarterly meeting of the political parties with the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The PUNCH noted that Mohammed occupied a front-row seat designated “PDP Chairman,” while Anyanwu sat behind him on a seat labelled “PDP National Secretary.” Punch
