The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has recognised the faction of the national working committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) backed by Nvesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The PDP’s leadership has been published on the electoral umpire’s website, with Abdulrahman Mohammed listed as the party’s national chairman.
GISTSMATE MEDIA reported that the PDP faction in its Abuja convention has affirmed Abdulrahman Mohammed and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively.
About 2,500 delegates in Abuja on Sunday endorsed the 19-member NWC and other national officers.
The motion was moved by House Minority Leader, Kingsley Chinda, and seconded by Usaman Admu.
The affirmed officers include Aaron Chukwuemeka (Deputy National Chairman, South), Yusufu Nya Akirikwen (SAN) (Deputy National Chairman, North), Kolawale Olabisi (Deputy National Secretary), Odeyemei Mackson Oladiran (National Treasurer), and Lado Dan Marke (Deputy National Treasurer), among others.
Also listed are Eyim Donatus Henry, Dr Grema Kyari, Umar Mohammed Bature, Efere Augustine, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, Egwu Goodluck Chidiebere, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), Barr. Aloysius Chinemelu U. Uba, Osuoha Okechukwu Donatus, Dr Adaba Yatu, Ibrahim Bala Aboki, and Momoh Dejih Eugene Bashir, while Professor Ogunshe Adedayo and Hauwa Ahmed Shinge serve as National Women Leader and Deputy National Women Leader, respectively.
The PDP is polarised into two factions.
The convention was being held amid an internal crisis and despite ongoing legal disputes over a previous convention by the governor bloc of the party in Ibadan, Oyo State, in November 2025.
The faction led by Kabiru Turaki had asked the supreme court to restrain the Wike camp from holding the national convention.
