A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Nyesom Wike has affirmed Abdulrahman Mohammed as National Chairman and Samuel Anyanwu affirmed as National Secretary during 2026 Convention held in Abuja.
The move underscores the deepening leadership crisis within the opposition party, as rival factions continue to assert control over key national positions. The Wike-backed group maintained that the affirmation reflects the will of its stakeholders and is aimed at restoring stability and direction within the party’s structure.
Supporters present at the meeting expressed confidence in the leadership of Mohammed and Anyanwu, describing their emergence as a necessary step toward repositioning the PDP ahead of future political activities.
However, the development is expected to face resistance from other factions within the party, which have consistently opposed parallel leadership claims. The ongoing internal dispute has raised concerns about unity and cohesion within the PDP.
Political observers warn that if unresolved, the crisis could weaken the party’s standing as a major opposition force and affect its preparedness for upcoming elections.
