Turaki-led PDP meets with Jonathan in Abuja
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Kabiru Turaki, met with former President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday in Abuja.
The meeting took place at the former president’s residence in the nation’s capital.
The agenda of the meeting was not disclosed, but TheCable understands the discussion focused on the outcome of a court judgment delivered in a suit instituted by the party’s board of trustees (BoT).
On July 17, the federal high court in Abuja dismissed the suit, which sought to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the Turaki-led interim national working committee (NWC) of the PDP.
In May, the Turaki-led PDP faction announced Jonathan as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election after his candidacy was ratified at a special national convention.
The PDP is polarised into two factions. The group backed by Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is recognised by the electoral umpire.
