PDP Crisis: BoT Meeting Begins in Abuja Amid Tensions and Leadership Disputes

 

Amid growing internal strife, the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has convened a crucial meeting in Abuja to address the ongoing crisis threatening the party’s stability. The high-stakes gathering comes as factions within the party continue to clash over leadership positions and strategic direction ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sources within the party indicate that key issues on the agenda include the contentious National Secretary position, reconciliation efforts among warring factions, and strategies to reposition the party for future elections. The recent altercations between party chieftains, including the clash between Samuel Anyanwu and Ude-Okoye, have intensified concerns over the party’s unity.

Eyewitnesses report a tense atmosphere at the PDP national secretariat, with heavy security presence around the venue to prevent any disruptions. Party stakeholders, including former governors, lawmakers, and other senior members, are expected to deliberate on urgent measures to resolve the crisis and restore cohesion within the party.

While some party insiders remain hopeful that the BoT meeting will lead to a breakthrough in resolving internal conflicts, others fear that deep-seated grievances and power struggles could further divide the party. Political analysts warn that the PDP’s ability to manage its internal crisis will determine its strength and viability as a formidable opposition ahead of future elections.

As the meeting progresses, all eyes remain on the party’s leadership to see if they can broker peace and unify the party in the face of mounting challenges.
