ABUJA - In a bid to ease internal tensions and strengthen its prospects ahead of the 2027 elections, the Peoples Democratic Party PDP has agreed to key demands from former Rivers State governor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Highly placed party sources told Vanguard in Abuja last night that the decision formed part of a wider strategy to unify the party and address lingering grievances within its ranks.
Wike, a major powerbroker in the PDP, had insisted on zoning of the partys presidential ticket to the South, the appointment of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary, and strict adherence to the South-South and South -Sast zoning convention.
According to insiders, the party leadership has now accepted these demands, removing what they say is any justification for Wike to continue opposing its direction.
