In a bid to checkmate the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the leadership of the party led by Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) on Tuesday met with former President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday in Abuja.
The closed meeting with Jonathan, which started around 6pm, it was gathered was to address the crisis rocking the party.
Recall that Turaki-led NWC had earlier visit the former President Olusegun Obasanjo, when they emerged from Ibadan national Convention to pursue peace in the party.
Since Turaki-led NWC emerged from the party national convention held on November 15, 2025 in Ibadan, Oyo state, the party has been engulfed in crisis, where Nyesom Wike backed faction had challenged the emergence of the Turaki-led NWC.
PDP Crisis Deepens: Turaki-Led NWC in Closed-Door Talks with Jonathan for Peace
By Samuel Ogidan, Abuja
In a fresh effort to resolve the escalating crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Acting National Chairman Tanimu Turaki held a closed-door meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday in Abuja.
The meeting, which commenced around 6:00 p.m., focused on strategies to address the internal turmoil plaguing the main opposition party, sources revealed.
This follows a similar outreach by the Turaki-led NWC to former President Olusegun Obasanjo shortly after their emergence, as part of broader efforts to restore peace and unity in the PDP.
The crisis erupted after the party’s national convention on November 15, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State, where the Turaki faction was elected. A rival group backed by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has since challenged the legitimacy of the new leadership, deepening divisions within the party.
Details of the discussions with Jonathan were not immediately available, as the meeting remained strictly private.
