PDP Fractures Over 2027 Candidate Recognition
from Nigeria News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Tensions flare inside the Peoples Democratic Party as two rival factions battle for control over the 2027 election slate—INEC has officially recognized the Wike-aligned camp, sparking defiance from the Turaki faction who claim procedural recognition doesn’t mean victory, citing past electoral wins in Ekiti and Osun. Despite a Supreme Court ruling that nullified the Turaki-backed convention, both sides continue issuing nomination forms, with INEC monitoring only the recognized group. The PDP’s public face insists INEC’s endorsement settles the matter, while Turaki’s camp remains defiant, betting their candidates will eventually prevail in the long game.
