PDP Inaugurates New NWC Led by Mohammed, Anyanwu

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) inaugurated a new National Working Committee on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at its national convention in Abuja. Abdulrahman Mohammed emerged as National Chairman and Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary, alongside 19 other committee members. All positions were filled through a consensus process, with the slate heavily backed by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.

This leadership settlement reconfigures the main opposition party ahead of the 2027 general elections. Wike’s prominent role signals which faction currently dominates PDP direction after years of internal divisions. The consensus approach suggests an attempt at party unity, though the absence of any contested positions may mask lingering tensions.

Nigerians should monitor how this NWC manages upcoming governorship elections and whether it can genuinely reunite the party’s factions. For voters seeking opposition to the APC, this committee will determine campaign strategy, candidate zoning, and messaging for 2027. The big question: Will this unified front hold or fracture under pressure?
