Concerns over the internal turmoil rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have intensified as former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, convened an emergency meeting with key party figures from Jigawa and Kano.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the gathering, held privately at his Kano residence, signals growing discomfort among senior members about the opposition party’s worsening fractures.

Lamido’s meeting occurred shortly after the Forum of Former PDP Local Government Chairmen in Jigawa publicly urged him to reconsider his membership if the party’s leadership continues on its current trajectory.
The Forum accused the national leadership of excluding Lamido from major decisions, including blocking him from contesting for the National Chairman position.
According to the Forum, unresolved internal disputes, factional interests, and poor leadership direction have weakened the PDP’s national structure, threatening its future relevance.
The situation worsened last week following a heated confrontation between Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike during a stormy session at the party’s Abuja secretariat.
Party insiders fear the escalating tension could trigger major political realignments if corrective actions are not taken urgently.
One PDP source noted that the party’s declining cohesion puts it at a critical crossroads and that Lamido’s next decision could shape its future both in the North-West and nationwide.
Observers are watching closely, saying the outcome of the emergency meeting may determine whether the PDP stabilises or plunges deeper into crisis.
