The two Peoples Democratic Party factions have restarted the faltering peace process ahead of the March 29-30, 2026, national convention being championed by the bloc led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The bloc headed by Tanimu Turaki (SAN) and supported by the party governors confirmed yesterday that a fresh reconciliation process aimed at uniting aggrieved factions within the party had commenced.
Turaki, who disclosed this while addressing newsmen in Abuja, explained that the reconciliation, which was kick-started on Tuesday night, is yielding some results. He further said they were mindful of the dispute’s implications amid the tight Electoral Act timelines and urged the other faction to act in the party’s overall interest. He however expressed confidence in the Wike faction, noting that reconciliation is still possible.
Meanwhile, the FCT minister has dismissed reports of a split within the PDP, insisting the party remains united as it prepares for its national convention. Wike spoke to journalists in Abuja yesterday, after inspecting several ongoing and completed infrastructure projects across the capital city.
