This development comes less than a week after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, failed to recognise the Kabiru Turaki-led National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party.
In other news, Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential media aide, has warned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, against bringing disrupting the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Ahmad has told Wike he cannot the “spirit” of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is not needed within the APC.
He stated this in reaction to the war of words between the FCT Minister and APC’s national secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru.
“The National Secretary of the APC, Senator Ajibola Basiru has reminded Nyesom Wike that his support for President Bola Tinubu, does not automatically make him a member of the APC,” Ahmad wrote on X.
“Millions of non-APC Nigerians also support Mr. President and his own is no different.
“His attempt to destabilise the Party in Rivers State will not be tolerated and he cannot bring the spirit of PDP into the APC.”
