₦airaland Forum

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has reaffirmed its authority over the party, with National Chairman Tanimu Turaki (SAN) insisting that the Independent National Electoral Commission recognises the NWC backed by PDP governors as the authentic leadership of the party.

Speaking at the presentation of the Certificate of Return to the PDP Ekiti governorship candidate, Oluwole Oluyede, at the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, on Wednesday, Turaki said all major stakeholders of the party were with the NWC.

The event was attended by 30 PDP state chairmen, National Assembly members, NWC members, party leaders and supporters who travelled from Ekiti dressed in colourful Ankara attire.

Responding, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary of the faction supported by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, said the Abdulrahman Mohammed-led Caretaker Committee remained the legitimate leadership of the PDP.

In an exclusive interview with The PUNCH, Anyanwu accused Turaki of lying about INEC recognition, claiming that the commission had been duly notified of the party’s change of leadership.

Recall that PDP governors backed the Ibadan convention, where Turaki and other NWC members were elected on November 16 to serve four-year terms.

However, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, alongside his allies Mohammed Abdulrahman and Senator Anyanwu, continued to insist that they remain the Acting National Chairman and Acting National Secretary, respectively.

fergie001:
Supreme Court will not rule on the leadership that is right because it doesn't dabble into the internal affairs of political parties.

All it will do is validate or invalidate the Ibadan Convention. And like I have always maintained the Ibadan Convention is very valid on points of law.

You sabi, INEC presented the forms to the Turaki-led leadership ... They know, 😂
