PDP: Wike Faction Moves to Tackle Suit Seeking Recognition of Turaki-led Interim Leadership

Alex Enumah in Abuja

Hearing in a suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the Interim National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Tanimu Turaki, was stalled yesterday owing to requests for joinder applications.

It would be recalled that the Senator Adolphus Wabara-led Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP had dragged the electoral umpire to court over its failure to upload the names of the Turaki-led Interim NWC members on its website.

Also following the Supreme Court’s nullification of the November 2025 Ibadan Convention that produced the Turaki-led national leadership of the PDP, last April, the Wabara-led BOT had put in place the interim leadership to run the affairs of the PDP, pending the election of new leaders.
