How PDP falls into another crisis
It was learnt that following the dismissal of the PDP’s petition against President Bola Tinubu by the Supreme Court, the leaders of the party, including presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and governors of the party, have begun their permutation ahead of 2027.
Because of their eyes on the 2027 election, they have started the scheme of how to have control of the party’s machinery to strengthen their own political ambition.
Wike, Makinde in alleged cold war
The report added that the quest to remove Samuel Anyanwu as the national secretary of the PDP by some southeast leaders was part of the battle to have the structure of the PDP ahead of the 2027 election.
the plot to remove Anyanwu was reportedly led by the PDP national vice chairman (Southeast), Ali Odefa, which has raised the suspicion that there may be a crack within the G5 led by Nyesom Wike, the minister of the federal capital.
This is because both Anyanwu and Odefa are loyalists of the G5. While Anyanwu is a loyalist of Wike, Odefa is loyal to Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo state.
