Fresh tensions have erupted inside Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), after a senior party figure openly condemned the Kogi State Elders Council for its reported attack on prominent member Natasha.
The internal clash has exposed widening cracks within the party ahead of future political battles, with analysts warning that divisions in Kogi a key political state in Nigeria’s Middle Belt could weaken the PDP’s influence nationally.
The controversy began after remarks allegedly directed at Natasha triggered backlash from supporters and party loyalists. In response, a party chieftain accused the Elders Council of fueling disunity instead of promoting reconciliation at a critical time for the opposition.
