ANALYSIS: Will PDP's NEC quench party's prolonged internal crisis?

The NEC is the highest decision-making organ of the PDP, comprising state governors, serving and former presidents, former vice-presidents, chairman and secretary of the board of trustees , principal officers of the national assembly, all state chairmen, members of the national working committee , former governors, and founding members, among others.

Wike and some governors, who formed the G5 at the time, insisted that Ayu’s resignation is a prerequisite for resolving the crisis rocking the party. Among a litany of accusations hurled at Damagum, legislators alleged that he tampered with the caretaker committee member lists in Rivers and ten other states.

“Rather, the Umar Damagum-led NWC is assiduously working to hand over the party to the ruling APC and their agents. A serious leadership would have looked into the acts of open anti-party activities, established why they happened and set up measures to ensure that it never happened again in the party,” the lawmakers said.

The PDP is a party torn apart by internal strife, with groups vying for control. It has been a series of internal conflicts after another for the opposition party since the 2023 presidential election.
