Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has drawn a firm line in the sand, declaring that its 2025 Elective National Convention will hold exactly as scheduled—November 15 and 16, 2025 in Ibadan—regardless of what it describes as “persistent judicial distractions.”
This resolution emerged from an emergency stakeholders’ meeting that ran late into the night at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.
The gathering pulled together the party’s most influential blocs: members of the National Working Committee (NWC), serving and former governors, National Assembly members, Board of Trustees leaders, and state chairmen.
The reaffirmation of the dates comes on the heels of recent conflicting court orders that had created uncertainty around the PDP’s timeline for internal restructuring. Some of the rulings—originating from what insiders have repeatedly termed “frivolous political litigations”—had sought to question the validity of processes leading to the convention.
The November 15–16 convention is expected to reshape the PDP ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Delegates will elect new national officers, review the party’s zoning architecture, and take final decisions on the strategic direction for reclaiming power.
