INEC Endorses Wike-Backed PDP Leadership Amid Deepening Rift

The Independent National Electoral Commission has recognised a new PDP leadership led by Nyesom Wike, naming Abdulrahman Mohammed as national chairman after a convention at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja. A rival faction under Kabiru Turaki has filed a court challenge against the convention’s legitimacy. Despite the dispute, the party elected a full slate of national officers. Wike described the outcome as a revival of party unity and praised grassroots supporters for their resilience. Political analysts warn the decision may reshape the PDP’s structure and electoral strategy.
