The Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednessay paid a solidarity visit to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following what both parties describe as increasing pressure on opposition parties in Nigeria.

During the visit, the PDP leadership led by Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde acknowledged what it called a “growing and shared threat” confronting opposition parties.

The PDP also noted that similar challenges have recently affected operations within its own party.
