The Digest:

Supporters of the Nyesom Wike-led faction have taken control of the PDP national headquarters in Abuja, staging massive protests against newly elected Chairman Kabiru Turaki and effectively occupying the party secretariat ahead of parallel meetings.

Key Points:
  • Wike-backed protesters, including women and youth groups, surrounded Wadata Plaza.
  • Placards bore messages like “No to Turaki” and “Turaki must go.”
  • The group was led by sacked Acting National Chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed.
  • Heavily armed police provided security as the faction occupied the building.
  • The protest follows Turaki’s election at a convention boycotted by Wike’s bloc.
  • No members of the Turaki-led NWC had arrived at the secretariat by report time.
  • Both factions had scheduled conflicting meetings for the same day and venue.
As rival factions turn party headquarters into a contested ground, this storm of dissent reveals a house divided not just by ideology, but by the very gates meant to unite it.
