PDP BoT moves to settle secretary seat dispute, as power tussle tears party apart

The battle for the position of National Secretary in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a dramatic turn, with the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) stepping in to broker peace.

Amid court rulings, political maneuvering, and even physical confrontations, the crisis threatens to deepen the cracks within Nigeria’s main opposition party.

At the end of its meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, the BoT announced the formation of a special panel led by former Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Turaki, to mediate between the two contenders for the office: Sunday Ude-Okoye and Samuel Anyanwu.
