The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has convened an emergency meeting in Abuja, following a fresh wave of high-profile defections that has rattled the party’s leadership.
The closed-door meeting is currently underway at the PDP’s National Secretariat, as party leaders scramble to address the growing political crisis.
This emergency session comes in the wake of notable exits, including Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, his predecessor Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, and Osun lawmaker Hon. Wole Oke—all of whom recently decamped to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The defections have triggered a flurry of political reactions and intensified tensions between the two major parties. While the PDP accuses the APC of coercing its members into switching sides, the ruling party has dismissed the allegations as baseless and labeled the opposition’s outcry as “hypocrisy.”
Sources close to the PDP leadership say today’s meeting aims to assess the fallout of the defections and develop a strategic response to prevent further erosion of the party’s support base, especially ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Political analysts see the recent shake-up as part of a broader realignment within Nigeria’s political landscape, as key figures reposition themselves for future power plays.
For now, the PDP faces the uphill task of holding its ranks together while navigating what may be its most significant internal test in recent years.
Very good news
