Acting Chairman Takes Over at PDP Secretariat Amid Drama

By Tony Akowe, Abuja, November 4, 2025

In a new development in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) crisis, Vice Chairman (Northcentral) Abdulrahman Mohammed, accompanied by supporters, took over the Wadata Plaza National Secretariat and moved into the National Chairman’s office.

Mohammed was proclaimed acting National Chairman by a faction on Friday, following the suspension and counter-suspension by National Working Committee (NWC) members.

This move is part of the ongoing face-off between the Samuel Anyanwu and National Chairman Iliya Damagum factions, with Mohammed belonging to the National Secretary’s faction.

The crisis escalated after a judgment by Justice James Omotoso of the Federal High Court, which invalidated the November 15-16 National Convention of the party and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to recognize the convention if held.
