In a dramatic turn of events, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, and former Vice President Namadi Sambo (Turaki) have reportedly taken control of the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja.
The move has intensified the ongoing leadership crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the trio—backed by key party stakeholders—insist on reclaiming authority from the current national leadership. According to insiders, the action was triggered by growing dissatisfaction over internal party decisions, zoning issues, and alleged unilateral actions by the National Working Committee.
Security presence around the secretariat has increased as party loyalists gather, raising tensions and political uncertainty. This takeover has sparked fresh debates about the future of the PDP ahead of Nigeria’s next electoral cycle.
