PDP shifts national convention dates and dissolves zonal committees
Nyesom Wike-backed Peoples Democratic Party Caretaker Committee has rescheduled the party’s national convention and dissolved several zonal committees. The changes were announced by Jungudo Haruna Mohammed after a meeting in Abuja. The committee is also focusing on reconciliation and inclusiveness within the party. Both factions continue to seek recognition amid ongoing legal disputes.
Key takeaways
- The PDP national convention, initially set for March 28 and 29, was moved to March 29 and 30 after committee deliberations.
- The South-West, North-West, and Plateau State zonal committees have been dissolved, with caretaker committees to be appointed soon.
- Abdulrahman Mohammed emphasized party unity and the commitment to a transparent, inclusive convention.
- A Federal High Court ruling last Friday nullified the PDP National Convention held on November 15, 2025, and restrained Tanimu Turaki (SAN) and others from acting as national officers.
- The Turaki-led faction plans to appeal the court decision, while the Wike-backed group welcomed the judgment.
