The Digest:

In the run-up to its November convention, the People's Democratic Party faces a deepening internal battle. According to reports in Vanguard and Channels TV, Nyesom Wike’s camp has tabled six demands, while the party leadership insists it will not be held hostage.

Key Points:
  • PDP convention scheduled for November in Ibadan amid rising tensions.
  • Wike’s allies demand fresh congresses in Ebonyi, Anambra, and Ekiti.
  • Calls for a new South-East zonal congress have been added to the list.
  • The party insists the national chairmanship should remain in North Central.
  • Bala Mohammed warns governors will resist blackmail and factionalism.
  • Damagum accuses APC of backing internal saboteurs to destabilise PDP.
  • Convention chair Fintiri pledges “fairest and most credible” exercise.
The PDP stands at a crossroads: either absorb dissent into discipline or risk splintering before 2027. As leaders trade ultimatums, the party’s strength may hinge on whether the majority can withstand minority pressure.
