PDP War: Makinde Brands Wike 'Vagabond' as Wike Fires Back – 'You're a Repentant One!'

 

This exchange reflects deeper factional divisions: one side backed by governors like Makinde supporting the Tanimu Turaki-led NWC, and a Wike-aligned group pushing parallel structures, court battles, and convention plans. The rift ties into 2027 permutations, with allegations of plots to weaken PDP for external interests (e.g., past claims Wike aimed to "hold" the party for President Tinubu's re-election, which Makinde has cited as a breaking point).

The PDP remains fractured, with governors resisting certain factional decisions and calls for reconciliation from bodies like the Board of Trustees, but the personal barbs suggest the crisis is far from resolution. 

Recent developments show the two former allies trading insults, with Makinde declaring that disruptive "vagabonds" have been expelled from the PDP (referring to a November 2025 expulsion that included figures aligned with Wike), while Wike has hit back by labeling Makinde a "repentant vagabond" and accusing him of inconsistency and treachery that fueled the party's woes..
