Borno PDP: Elders Tell Makinde To Make Peace with FCT Minister Wike
Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Borno State have called on Governor Bala Mohammed and his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde to sheath their swords, embrace party unity, and realign their loyalty to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Chairman of the stakeholders, Grema Kyari, made this call while addressing journalists in Maiduguri, commending the FCT Minister for his commitment to discipline and institutional integrity.
Kyari, a member of the National Working Caretaker Committee, also hailed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for rejecting the outcome of the Ibadan Convention, which produced Kabiru Turaki as the National Chairman of the party.
The group further extolled the Abdulrahman Mohammed-led National Working Caretaker Committee for its bold, timely, and lawful decision to dissolve the Borno State PDP Executive Committee and approve the constitution of a Borno State PDP Working Caretaker Committee.
It noted that the action has brought renewed hope to party members across the state just as it reflected the aspirations of PDP faithful in Borno State who have long awaited justice and internal democracy.
“Wike’s steadfast commitment to discipline, constitutionalism, and institutional integrity remains unprecedented, especially in the face of sustained pressure and actions from governors Bala Mohammed and Seyi Makinde, who are supported by Barrister Kabiru Turaki, which have deepened the internal crisis of our party.
“In view of these undeniable facts, we hereby call on Barrister Kabiru Turaki, Governor Bala Mohammed (former Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum), and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State to sheath their swords, embrace party unity, and realign their loyalty with our National Leader, His Excellency Chief Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, whose role in strengthening and repositioning the PDP is well known,” the group said.
Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has playfully called out Senate President Godswill Akpabio for breaching truce over ‘massaging women’s legs’ comment.
At plenary on Thursday, Oshiomhole said he signed a truce of no more hostilities, stating that Akpabio breached the agreement by reverting to previous matters.
DAILY POST reports that Akpabio had mocked Oshiomhole over the viral video allegedly showing him massaging a woman’s leg aboard a private jet.
The Senate President stated that the Senate initially ignored the footage because it was suspected to have been generated using artificial intelligence, AI.
Recall that a video which surfaced on X on February 3, 2026, sparked widespread reactions after it allegedly showed the former Edo State governor massaging a woman’s leg inside a private jet, days later the lawmaker debunked the video stating that it was AI.
Joking over it at the plenary, Oshiomhole said, “I want to report to this house that the senate president and I we signed a truce of no more hostilities and senate president breach the truce by reverting to previous matter, the truce stands, you should not violate, I will not violate.”
Responding, Akpabio said, “Let me first of all apologize to Oshiomhole if whatever I said could in any way injure him or feel offended.”
