Confusion erupted on Saturday (today) during the Taraba State congress of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after members of the congress committee reportedly announced two different individuals as the party’s consensus chairman. Naija News understands that the development sparked outrage among delegates and party faithful, triggering heated arguments and protests at the congress venue. The drama reportedly began when a member of the congress committee announced Victor Samuel Falack as the consensus chairman of the party in the state. Party members present at the venue were said to have applauded the announcement and affirmed Falack’s nomination, believing the process had been concluded. Observers at the congress said the declaration was initially received with excitement, as many delegates appeared satisfied that the party had reached a consensus. However, the situation took a dramatic turn moments later when another member of the committee, reportedly arriving from Abuja, interrupted the proceedings and announced a different individual as the party’s chairman. The sudden reversal created confusion among delegates, many of whom began questioning the development and demanding clarification from the congress committee. The conflicting declarations immediately sparked heated exchanges among party members and supporters at the venue. The disagreement soon degenerated into chaos as some aggrieved delegates and party faithful stormed out of the congress venue in protest. Witnesses said the protesters chanted slogans and insisted that the earlier declaration of Falack as the consensus candidate be respected. Some party members also described the newly announced chairman as “unknown” within the party’s structure in the state. They accused members of the congress committee of attempting to impose a candidate on the party against the wishes of delegates. Efforts by some party officials to calm the tense situation reportedly failed as tensions among supporters continued to rise. As of the time of filing this report, the final outcome of the Congress remained uncertain. Concerned party members have since called on the national leadership of the PDP to urgently intervene and clarify the conflicting announcements in order to prevent further crisis within the party in Taraba State.
