Court Vacates Arrest Warrant Against PDP Factional Chairman Kabiru Turaki

An Abuja High Court has vacated the bench warrant it earlier issued for the arrest of factional Peoples Democratic Party national chairman, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (SAN). The bench warrant had been granted after Turaki failed to appear for arraignment on a one count charge of allegedly giving false information to the police. The charge stems from a petition he wrote in 2022 as a private citizen, accusing certain persons of wrongdoing. The Inspector General of Police later filed a case against him, alleging that the information in the petition was false. Justice Peter Kekemeke had on March 25 ordered Turaki’s arrest, ruling that there was no justification for his absence in court. However, Turaki’s lawyers immediately appealed the order and filed an application for stay of execution, arguing that he missed the sitting due to a sudden hospital visit and […]

2027: Support for Tinubu deepens rift in PDP

Fresh tension has erupted in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as internal divisions widen over whether the opposition party should back President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027 or present its own presidential candidate. A faction led by former minister Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, with the support of Oyo State governor Seyi Makinde, has firmly rejected any plan to adopt Tinubu, insisting it would be “improper” for an opposition party to endorse the flag bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. The rival camp, aligned with Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, is more open to supporting Tinubu and currently backs the National Caretaker Committee organising Sunday’s March 29 national convention in Abuja. This has left the PDP effectively split into two blocs, even as reconciliation talks continue and some court cases are expected to be withdrawn if a political […]

Court orders arrest of PDP factional chairman Turaki

An FCT High Court sitting in Maitama has ordered the arrest of factional Peoples Democratic Party National Chairman, Senator Kabiru Tanimu Turaki. Justice Peter Kekemeke issued a bench warrant on Thursday after Turaki failed to appear in court for his arraignment on a criminal charge. Turaki is facing a one count charge filed by the Inspector General of Police accusing him of giving false information to the police. The alleged offence relates to a petition he wrote on October 5, 2022 against one Saidi Mohammed Mainasara, which prosecutors say was intended to misuse the IGP’s lawful powers to the injury or annoyance of Mainasara. When the case was called, prosecution counsel Usman Rabiu told the court that the matter was fixed for Turaki to take his plea. He said Turaki had been duly served with the charge and a hearing […]

Makinde, Wike camps begin talks to save PDP before 2027

The Peoples Democratic Party says it has pulled back from the brink of a major internal crisis as camps loyal to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike begin reconciliation talks. Party leaders hope the dialogue will stabilise the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections. For months, tensions between the two camps spilled into court cases, public exchanges and behind the scenes power struggles, raising doubts about the party’s unity and readiness for future polls. Under growing pressure, both sides are now choosing engagement over confrontation. Speaking in Abuja, factional PDP National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki said the party’s National Working Committee, aligned with the Makinde camp, made the first moves to ease tensions after the intervention of the Board of Trustees led by Senator Adolphus Wabara. He said the BoT set up a […]
