The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has updated its portal for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership, removing Ahmed Yayari and Daniel Woyengikuro as National Treasurer and National Financial Secretary respectively.
The commission has replaced both names with Odeyemi Mackson Oladiran and Eyim Donatus Henry as the new executive holders, according to checks on Tuesday.
Ahmed Yayari and Daniel Woyengikuro are members of the PDP faction loyal to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde (the Turaki group). In contrast, Odeyemi and Eyim belong to the faction led by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, which INEC has consistently recognized as the authentic PDP leadership.
INEC had earlier recognized the Wike faction by listing Abdulrahman Mohammed as National Chairman and Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary. However, confusion lingered as the portal still carried Yayari and Daniel’s names — a situation now resolved with the latest update.
The development further consolidates the Wike faction’s control over the PDP’s recognition by the electoral umpire. The Makinde-led faction has yet to issue an official statement on the changes.
