Abuja, Nigeria – Wahala don dey for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as dem dey prepare for wetin fit be serious show of strength today. Na today, June 30, 2025, dem scheduled the 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. But e be like say no be everybody gree join body as different factions don split dem self, ready to hold separate meetings.
As per sources wey talk to The Punch, rival groups dey mobilize dem members for Abuja. Some high-ranking members of the party gather for Wadata to discuss wetin go happen, while others dey plan to stick to the original meeting schedule for the NEC. So, na who go carry the day? (E be like drama for Yoruba movie, sha.)
Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and Senator Samuel Anyanwu wey dey fight for the National Secretary position, dey try to hold their ground. Dem meeting don see some big shots like National Organizing Secretary Umar Bature and National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade plus other NWC members, all dey talk say make dem hold expanded National Caucus instead.
But no be so dem wan make am for the Makinde camp, wey dey strongly support make the NEC meeting hold as planned. Even Governors like Peter Mbah and Douye Diri don stand gidigba for this side. (E get as dem dey look like soldiers ready for battle, trust PDP.)
For the other side, Nyesom Wike people dey advocate for Anyanwu’s return, with dem dey chop pepper together too. Na like this PDP take dey scatter since dem lose power for 2015. Leadership wahala plus defections don blend together to form one hot soup. The stakeholders dey look for how dem go fit stabilize the party, but the more dem try, the more gist dey flow.
The Board of Trustees, dem dey sit down for corner too, as e follow the ongoing wahala. We fit say na like movie we’re watching, with the tension rising and every side carrying dem own agenda. Na only one motion na im dey confuse everybody, as INEC don join matter too by stating that dem recognize Senator Anyanwu as the legitimate National Secretary. But how e take reach this point, na the big question.
As the clock dey tick for the 100th NEC meeting, the NWC members wey oppose Anyanwu’s reinstatement don make am clear say dem no go gree make anybody change the date. Dem even talk say the claim say the NEC meeting don change to a Special Expanded National Caucus no dey legit, and everybody go dey face each other today, no shaking!
A top party source don talk say preparations don complete for the meeting. Dem gree sey it dey matter for survival of the party. Na real show of power dey happen for PDP today, as those wey fit pull weight go determine wetin go happen next. If dem wan face reality and make the party dey strong again, today go be the day dem fit decide.
Even the ruling APC don jump inside matter, dem dey use PDP wahala to gain ground. Dem don talk say PDP na dying party and that dem no fit manage even their own affairs. This one na like person wey dey throw pebble for glasshouse – e go break anytime! All eyes dey on Abuja today, as the drama unfold and we go see whether dem go resolve the issue or wahala go burst again.
So, make we just sit down chop popcorn, because na real election drama we dey follow – PDP, don’t let us down, o!
