Fresh power struggle erupts in Taraba PDP over control of secretariat - The Guardian Nigeria News

AI Summary

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba State is experiencing a dispute after the 16‑member State Caretaker Committee ordered members of the dissolved State Working Committee (SWC) to vacate the party’s state secretariat, warning of possible legal action. Caretaker Committee Chairman Dr. Falack Victor said the directive is based on legality and not intimidation, urging members to cooperate in rebuilding the party. The SWC had previously described the Caretaker Committee as an unrecognised body lacking constitutional standing and accused it of spreading misinformation. Dr. Victor responded by defending the committee’s authority and referencing statements by Alhaji Abdulraman Mohammed. The conflict may affect the PDP’s organisational readiness ahead of upcoming elections in the state.
