The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has resolved to put an end to the party’s crisis by scheduling a meeting with former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike in January.
During an emergency meeting in Abuja on Thursday, PDP BoT Chairman Senator Adolphus Wabara emphasized the importance of internal organization within the PDP, stating that the party’s strength lies in collective determination rather than individual ambitions.

He said, “We cannot afford to let personal ambitions or differences overshadow our shared vision for a better Nigeria.”
“Let us prioritize dialogue, collaboration, and a sense of shared responsibility as we navigate these trying times.
“To this end, the BoT will begin again to search for peace in the new year, starting with former Governor Nyesom Wike, who the BoT had promised to visit again to seek lasting peace.”
Wabara also criticized the Umar Damagum-led National Working Committee for its repeated postponements of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
He expressed concern that the ongoing delays in convening the NEC meeting are eroding the trust and confidence of PDP members.
“This delay not only undermines the trust and confidence of our members.”
In other news, Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has criticised the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the state for setting up a shadow government in the state, describing it as a treasonous offence.
Otti stated this during a critical meeting with leaders of workers’ unions in the state, vowing to take severe legal action within the framework of the law against the opposition party.
While raising eyebrows over the development, the governor described the move as baseless and an indication of ignorance about Nigeria’s political structure.
The Eastern Updates recalls that the opposition PDP in Abia State had announced the formation of a shadow government in the state, appointing a speaker and shadow commissioners, claiming the move was aimed at holding the ruling administration accountable.
Otti clarified that the nation’s presidential democracy is not familiar with the idea of a shadow administration, adding that he had instructed the state’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Ikechukwu Uwanna, to address the matter decisively within the framework of the law.
