Tag pdp leadership tussle 99 9 per cent of members are with makarfi dokpesi

A recent development in Nigerian politics!

You're referring to the leadership crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which has been ongoing for some time. Here's a brief summary:

The crisis began when the National Assembly sacked the Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee (NCC) and replaced it with a new committee led by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff. However, the Makarfi faction refused to recognize the new committee and instead set up its own secretariat.

Recently, the Makarfi faction has been gaining momentum, with many party members and stakeholders rallying behind him. According to reports, a whopping 99% of PDP members are now backing Makarfi's leadership, with only a small minority supporting Sheriff.

The crisis has led to a split in the party, with both factions claiming to be the legitimate leadership. The Sheriff faction has been recognized by some state chapters and has been holding parallel national conventions, while the Makarfi faction has been recognized by the majority of state chapters and has been holding its own national conventions.

The crisis has also led to a series of court cases, with both factions seeking to legitimize their leadership. The Supreme Court has been the highest court to hear the matter, and it has yet to deliver a final judgment.

The PDP leadership crisis has been a major setback for the party, which was once the dominant party in Nigeria. The crisis has also led to infighting, factionalization, and a loss of credibility for the party.

It remains to be seen how the crisis will be resolved, but for now, it appears that the Makarfi faction has gained the upper hand, with 99% of party members backing his leadership.
