Nigeria: Makinde-Backed PDP Constitutes 13-Member Interim Nwc, Appoints Turaki As Chairman
The faction formed a 13-member interim National Working Committee after a Supreme Court ruling voided the earlier leadership team.
- The Peoples Democratic Party National Executive Committee appointed Kabiru Turaki as acting chairman of a new 13-member interim National Working Committee on Monday at the Yar'Adua Centre in Abuja.
- Following a Supreme Court judgment last Thursday that invalidated the previous NWC faction led by Turaki, the Board of Trustees led by Adolphus Wabara stepped in to fill the leadership vacuum.
- The rival faction backed by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike continues to occupy the party headquarters and holds recognition from the electoral commission, INEC. This creates competing claims to party legitimacy.
- With Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde in attendance, the majority of NEC members supported the interim committee's formation through voice votes on Monday.
- Turaki pledged to field candidates for all 2027 elective positions, urging members to "remain steadfast and resilient," though the interim committee faces potential legal challenges over whether this arrangement circumvents the Supreme Court ruling.
