The President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, is at the moment hosting a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party headed by Alhaji Bamanga Tukur to a victory party in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The party started at 8pm on Sunday.
It was learnt that the party is to honour the Tukur-led executives elected at the Special National Convention of the PDP at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
It was at the convention that the Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led executives walked out to form a parallel faction.
The grievance of the Baraje-led executive, popularly called the New PDP, was that over 50 candidates, perceived not to be loyal to Jonathan, were disqualified.
Those already at the party, apart from members of the National Executive Committee are Senator Andy Uba, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, Chief Olabode George and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.
Details from the victory party will be available as events unfold.
