The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) reportedly aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has indefinitely postponed its scheduled National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
The unexpected deferral adds another layer to the ongoing internal strife within Nigeria’s main opposition party. While no official reason was immediately provided for the indefinite postponement, it comes amidst heightened tensions and power struggles within the PDP.
Sources within the party indicate that the continuous jostling for control and direction of the party, particularly ahead of crucial decisions regarding its leadership and future electoral strategies, may be a contributing factor to the delay.
This development follows a series of postponements of the party’s NEC meetings in recent months, underscoring the deep divisions that continue to plague the PDP since the 2023 general elections. The indefinite postponement further fuels speculation about the stability and unity of the party’s various factions.
