In a significant development for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a large majority of the state chairmen have rallied together, offering their full support for the upcoming national convention.

A strong contingent of 29 state chairmen have publicly endorsed the convention, which is set to take place on November 15th and 16th.

Their support comes after the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan gave the green light for the event, confirming its legitimacy.

Following a meeting with Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, the Acting Chairman of the Forum and Edo State PDP Chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, addressed the press.

He emphasized the unwavering loyalty of the state chairmen to the current PDP leadership, led by Umar Damagum.

Furthermore, they firmly rejected a rival faction, led by Abdurahman Mu, signaling a clear stance on the party’s direction.

This show of solidarity highlights the internal dynamics within the PDP as they prepare for the crucial national convention.

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has finally explained the crisis rocking her marriage with Senator Ned Nwoko.

She said, “My family is actually in turmoil, it’s crazy but we will definitely come out of it. What gave me the courage to do this video is seeing how my family and everyone is fighting for me. My brother, mum and my sisters, everybody is fighting.

“I’m going to fight for my children Ned, I tried to be calm, I tried to let go but I will fight and take them. I will train them with or without your support. You know that my ex-husband”.
