BREAKING: INEC Officially Recognizes Wike-Supported PDP Faction

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has effectively given recognition to a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) backed by Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. This group, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed as head of the National Caretaker Committee, includes key figures like Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the Acting National Secretary.

Their legitimacy was underscored during INEC’s first quarterly meeting with leaders of registered political parties—an event typically reserved for national chairmen and secretaries officially recognized by the commission. The inclusion of Mohammed and Anyanwu signals INEC’s alignment with a recent Federal High Court ruling in Ibadan, which mandated the commission to accept the Mohammed-led committee as the PDP’s lawful leadership.

This development marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing power struggle within the PDP, with Wike’s influence shaping the party’s trajectory. Further updates are expected as the situation unfolds.
