Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has declared that Abdulrahman Mohammed is the legitimate chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike made this declaration on Wednesday during a media chat in Abuja.
He discussed PDP’s internal crisis and criticised the party’s rival faction, led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki.
DAILY POST reports that the PDP has been faced with an internal crisis since 2023, after the emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate.
The party since then has been split into factions, one backed by Wike and another backed by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde.
At its 2025 convention in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, the Makinde’s faction elected a new National Working Committee, NWC, led by Tanimu Turaki, SAN.
But the Wike backed camp appointed Abdulrahman Mohammed as national chairman.
“Mohammed holds the position. He is the chairman of the party,” Wike said.
