The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently holding an emergency closed-door meeting at the Bauchi Governor's Lodge in Abuja to address escalating internal conflicts within the party.

The meeting, which has drawn key party stakeholders from across Nigeria, is primarily focused on the recent actions of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, who has withdrawn from ongoing peace talks within the party.

According to reports, Wike accused prominent party leaders, including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, of dishonesty, further deepening the crisis within the opposition party.

Another critical issue being deliberated is the recent closure of the PDP's national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA). The headquarters was sealed on Monday over unpaid ground rent allegedly spanning 28 years.

The closure has forced the party to temporarily relocate its operations to the Bauchi Lodge, highlighting the administrative challenges currently facing the party.

Sources indicate that the BoT is also considering postponing the planned National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting initially scheduled for Tuesday. The postponement would allow more time for conflict resolution and party reconciliation efforts.

The emergency meeting has attracted several high-profile PDP figures, including Acting National Chairman Umar Iliya Damagum and governors from PDP-controlled states such as Peter Mbah (Enugu), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), Douye Diri (Bayelsa), and Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), who also chairs the PDP Governors' Forum.

Other notable attendees include Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, PDP BoT member Ben Obi, retired Navy Commodore Olabode George, former Information Minister Jerry Gana, former Niger State Governor Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu, former PDP Ministers' Forum Chair Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, and former Women Affairs Minister Josephine Anenih.

Tensions within the PDP have intensified following Wike's public withdrawal from reconciliation efforts on Sunday, sparking renewed concerns over the party's unity and direction as Nigeria moves closer to the next electoral cycle.

The outcome of this emergency meeting is expected to significantly impact the opposition party's strategy and internal cohesion in the coming months.
