These factions have independently nominated separate candidates for the upcoming governorship election and established parallel state executive committees. Each faction asserts its legitimacy, exacerbating divisions within the party. This development signals significant internal conflict as the PDP prepares for future elections in the state. The situation raises questions about the party’s ability to present a unified front and effectively challenge the ruling party. Further details regarding the claims of legitimacy from each faction are expected to emerge. This split could significantly impact the PDP’s electoral prospects in Sokoto State.
