The Digest:
The newly elected PDP National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, and party leaders have marched to the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja to formally protest against expelled members Nyesom Wike and Samuel Anyanwu, who are convening a rival National Executive Committee meeting.
Key Points:
- Turaki led party leaders to complain about the Wike-backed faction's planned NEC meeting.
- Expelled National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu issued notice for Tuesday's NEC and BoT meetings at PDP headquarters.
- The Wike-loyalist BoT meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m., followed by NEC at 2 p.m.
- This follows the recent expulsion of Wike, Anyanwu, and Ayo Fayose for anti-party activities.
- The confrontation represents a deepening constitutional crisis within the opposition party.
- Turaki's faction seeks police intervention to prevent the rival meetings from proceeding.
- The party remains split between constitutional orders and what some term "illegality."
