In the ongoing twists and turns to the leadership crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the senior management members of staff and other workers on Tuesday declared their loyalty and allegiance to the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC). The decision came after Friday’s judgment of the Ibadan Federal High Court, which nullified the November 15, 2025 national convention that produced the NWC. The Turaki-led NWC immediately appealed the judgment and also filed for a stay of execution of the judgment.

A total of 76 PDP members of staff and PDI officials signed to declare support for the NWC.
