As the PDP prepares for its National Convention in Ibadan on November 15–16, tensions are rising within the party. A faction loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has released a six-point demand, calling for fresh congresses in Ebonyi and Anambra, a new Southeast zonal congress, respect for the court-recognised South-South congress, immediate Ekiti LGA congresses, adherence to NEC guidelines without micro-zoning, and retention of the National Chairmanship in the North-Central. Party leaders, including National Chairman Umar Damagum and Governors’ Forum chair Bala Mohammed, maintain that the convention will proceed as scheduled, emphasising unity and discipline. We speak with George Turnah, Zonal Secretary of PDP South-South, on what this means for party cohesion, credibility, and the future of Nigeria’s main opposition party.
