BREAKING: PDP Senate Caucus Moves To Address Escalating Party Crisis

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the conflict, which began after the 2023 general elections, has grown more severe, leading to a widening factional rift within the opposition party.

The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum (PDP-GF) had earlier called on the feuding members to revert to their original positions.

This was announced by the forum’s chairman and Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, after a meeting that stretched into the early hours of Tuesday.

In a bid to resolve the crisis, the PDP Senate caucus held a closed-door meeting, lasting over three hours, chaired by Senate Minority Leader Senator Abba Moro.

Following the meeting, Moro, who represents Benue South, announced that an expanded committee has been formed.

The committee, which includes former PDP governors and key party leaders, will engage with aggrieved members to identify their concerns and work towards a peaceful resolution. Their findings will be submitted to help guide the party forward.
