Chairman kicks as Wike-backed NWC dissolves Ogun PDP executive
**PDP Crisis Deepens as Wike-Backed NWC Dissolves Ogun State Executive** In a shocking move, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dissolved the Ogun State executive of the party. This decision, taken by the NWC backed by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has sparked a fresh crisis in the party. According to the National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, the Ogun State Executive Committee has been dissolved with immediate effect. A Caretaker Committee will be set up to oversee the party's affairs in the state, but the details of this committee are yet to be announced. However, the Ogun State executive has rejected this decision, calling it a product of "idle minds" trying to sow discord in the party. In a statement, the state chairman, Abayomi Tella, described the move as a "laughable communication" that lacks constitutional backing. He insisted that the current Ogun State PDP Executive, which was elected and inaugurated in September 2024, remains the legitimate organ of the party in the state, as recognized by the National Executive Committee (NEC). This development is a reflection of the deepening crisis in the PDP, with Governor Wike's faction at odds with the party's national leadership. The dissolution of the Ogun State executive is seen as a power play by Wike's supporters, who are seeking to gain control of the party in the state. For Nigerians who are familiar with the complexities of party politics, this move is not surprising. In recent times, the PDP has been plagued by internal strife, with different factions vying for power. The dissolution of the Ogun State executive is a testament to the party's inability to resolve its internal differences. As the crisis deepens, one can only wonder what the future holds for the PDP. Will the party be able to resolve its differences and present a united front, or will the infighting continue to plague it? Only time will tell.
