The Nyesom Wike-backed Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Abdulraman Mohammed, has denied convention planned by Tanimu Turaki-led to affirm former President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential candidate for 2027.
The party National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, in a statement on Friday in Abuja, described the planned convention as false, misleading, and an attempt to create unnecessary political tension in the country.
Mohammed said that no such meeting or affirmation process had been scheduled or approved by any recognised organ of the party.
According to him, the PDP has already concluded all its statutory primary elections—including those for the Presidency, National Assembly, Governorship, and State Houses of Assembly.
