The Tanimu Turaki led National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) is scheduled to meet with stakeholders in the opposition party, including the National Assembly caucus.

A schedule by the PDP National Organizing Secretary, Dakas Shan indicated that the NWC will meet with former governors in the party, on December 16.

This is as the party would present
a Certificate of Return to the PDP  candidate in the June, 20, 2026 Ekiti State Governorship election,  Oluwole Oluyede, on Wednesday.

Ahead of  the parley with the ex-governors, the NWC will meet with the Senate and House of Representatives caucuses, as well as party chairmen from the 36 states, ex- ministers and national ex-officio.

Recalled that the crisis in the PDP escalated after the  immediate past NWC led by Umar Damagum, organized a national convention, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, where it elected a new leadership led by Turaki.

Last month supporters of the new NWC, which is backed by PDP Governors and loyalists of the Minister of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Nyesom Wike, clashed at the party’s national secretariat, the Wadata Plaza, leading to the police barricading the national secretariat.
