The move triggered outrage within the camp loyal to the PDP governors, led by Tanimu Turaki (SAN) as national chairman of the party. On Thursday, the caretaker committee, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed and caretaker secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, were invited for the quarterly meeting of the political parties with the Independent National Electoral Commission. “The recent court judgment has effectively resolved the crisis that had been affecting the PDP. Anyanwu assured party supporters that resolving the crisis would enable the PDP to present candidates in the forthcoming elections. The faction, in a statement through its National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, criticised INEC for recognising the Wike-backed caretaker committee, calling the move unconstitutional and provocative.
