In Ibadan, Oyo State, tension is building as the city gears up for the much-anticipated national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). With the event scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, the atmosphere is charged amid fears of a major showdown between rival factions within the opposition party.

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to set up a national caretaker committee instead of organising a controversial National Convention that will compound the division in the party. He said the proposed caretaker committee should instantly embark on reconciliation and unite the platform.
