The Kabiru Turaki-led national working committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently in a closed-door meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan to discuss issues affecting the party.
Turaki arrived at Jonathan’s Maitama office in Abuja at about 5:45 p.m., in the company of the entire NWC.
The meeting is expected to focus on the lingering crisis within the PDP and ongoing efforts by the party leadership to reposition it ahead of future political engagements.
This development comes less than a week after the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) failed to recognise the Turaki-led NWC.
The electoral body said its decision was based on several court judgements.
The commission stated that it would not update its records to reflect any changes in national leadership until ongoing court cases are resolved.
“In the light of the above pending suits, your request is prejudiced and cannot be acceded to until the determination of the pending appeals,” the letter reads.
“In the circumstances, and in obedience to the rule of law and subsisting court orders, the commission is unable to accede to the demand to recognise or update the list of the national officers said to have emerged from the PDP National convention of 15th-16th November 2025.”
