The Digest:

A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has postponed its Ekiti State governorship primary, revealing how logistical challenges can reshape political timelines and internal dynamics. According to a letter to INEC, the exercise was stalled by practical constraints.

Key Points

  • The primary was scheduled for November 8 but has been indefinitely postponed.
  • The postponement was announced via a letter signed by the acting national chairman and secretary.
  • The party cited "logistics reasons" as the constraint forcing the delay.
  • The Wike-led faction assured INEC that a new date would be communicated later.
  • The letter maintained a formal diplomatic tone, seeking the commission's understanding.
  • This faction operates separately from the main PDP leadership structure.
  • The move occurs amid ongoing internal crises within the opposition party
This delay, while framed as logistical, exposes the ongoing struggle for coherence within a major party, where parallel structures navigate the delicate balance between internal alignment and electoral preparedness.
