Summary

Leaders within Nigeria's main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are holding reconciliation talks. Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, and a faction associated with Nyesom Wike are trying to mend relations to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

This comes as the party faces significant defections. The governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, has left the PDP for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). There are also reports that the governor of Bauchi State may defect. Makinde has stated the party is not bothered despite potentially being left with only two state governors.
