The Independent National Electoral Commission seem to have given its nod to the Peoples Democratic Party faction led by backed by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.
Checks on the INEC website on Monday revealed that the electoral body which also monitored the PDP convention in Abuja post the recognised leadership structure of the Wike faction.
Meanwhile the Kabiru Turaki led faction has not responded.
After Sunday night’s convention INEC’s website has Abdulrahman Mohammed national chairman, Samuel Anyanwu as national secretary. It also listed other National Working Committee members.
Speaking at the convention Wike said: “No one would be excluded, and everyone will be given an equal opportunity to serve in unity and love. We must all pledge to a renewal of our commitment, loyalty and dedication to the party.
“Together we fought against proponents of ethnic and geographic divisions and trounced the naysayers who abandoned the core values upon which the party was built.
“In the process, we arrested the party from the vice grip of those who abhor internal democracy and shun adherence to the rule of law.
“More importantly, we fought and returned the party to its rightful owners, the people, an accomplishment which speaks to the fundamental principle upon which the party was erected.”
