The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has announced that it will inaugurate its 2025 National Convention Organising Committee, Main Committee, on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

According to a statement on Thursday signed by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the announcement was made following the approval of the party’s National Executive Committee.

The statement said the inauguration will take place at the party’s National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, in Abuja, at 12 noon.

It noted that the 110-member committee will be chaired by Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, while Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, will serve as Vice Chairman. Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has been named Secretary.

According to the statement, the NWC therefore charges all leaders, critical stakeholders and teeming members of the PDP to remain united, focused and continue to work together towards the success of the PDP 2025 Elective National Convention scheduled to hold in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital on Saturday, 15th to Sunday, 16th November, 2025.  

Recall that there are strong indications that the November national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party scheduled for Ibadan, Oyo State, may be derailed following a threat by the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, to halt the event.

Wike’s opposition to the convention is believed to be the result of his rift with his erstwhile ally, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and other unresolved issues in the party.

Ahead of the elective convention slated for November 16, the PDP has, however, issued a stern warning to the minister over his moves against the party’s plans.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in an interview with selected reporters in Abuja, cautioned that decisive action under the party’s constitution would be taken against him should he continue to undermine the collective interests of the party.
