PDP holds emergency meeting in Abuja as BoT takes over party

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is currently holding an emergency meeting with key stakeholders in Asokoro, Abuja.

This meeting is said to be a decisive move to navigate the current leadership impasse and safeguard the institutional integrity of the party.

The high-level session has brought together the party’s most influential organs, including the Board of Trustees (BoT), the PDP Governors’ Forum, members of the National Assembly Caucus, the National Executive Committee (NEC), the National Caucus, state chairmen, and ex officio members.

The Board of Trustees, through its Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, has already issued a statement regarding the takeover of party affairs pending the appointment of a caretaker committee.

DAILY POST reports that this comes just after the Supreme Court on Thursday nullified the 2025 National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The convention, which produced former governor of Jigawa, Alhaji Ismaila Turaki, was organised by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, while the other faction was led by the Minister of the FCT, Mr. Nyesom Wike.
