‎The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Mr Tanimu Turaki, SAN, on Tuesday held a closed-door meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja.
‎
‎The meeting took place at Jonathan’s Maitama office, where Turaki arrived at about 5:45 p.m. alongside members of the NWC and a few selected state chairmen.
‎
‎The delegation was conveyed in about six sports utility vehicles (SUVs), while details of the discussions were not disclosed to journalists at the end of the meeting.
‎
‎The engagement is coming amid ongoing leadership disputes within the PDP at both national and state levels.
‎
‎It was earlier reported that the Turaki-led leadership of the party in Rivers State had collapsed its structure into the faction led by Mr Aaron Chukwuemeka, pledging allegiance to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr Nyesom Wike.
‎
‎The development also comes less than a week after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declined to recognise the Kabiru Turaki-led National Working Committee of the PDP.
‎The party has been embroiled in internal disagreements over its leadership and control of structures in some states, raising concerns among stakeholders ahead of future electoral engagements.
