The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has inaugurated a 110-member organising committee on Monday, ahead of its 2025 elective national convention.
It would recalled that the National Executive Committee had earlier fixed the convention for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State, a meeting widely expected to shape the opposition party’s future and determine its flag bearer for the 2027 presidential election.
A statement on Monday by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the committee would oversee preparations and ensure a smooth exercise.
The committee is chaired by Adamawa State governor Ahmadu Fintiri, with Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke as deputy chairman, former minister Kabir Turaki (SAN) as deputy chairman 2, and Enugu State governor Peter Mbah as secretary. Senator Adolphus Wabara, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, will serve as the BOT representative.
Few weeks ago, the party inaugurated its National Elective Convention Zoning Committee at the national headquarters in Abuja.
The 46-member committee is headed by the Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, with his Zamfara and Plateau counterparts, Dauda Lawal and Barr. Caleb Mutfwang as vice chairman and secretary respectively.
Inaugurating the National Elective Convention Zoning Committee, the acting PDP National Chairman, Amb. Umar Damagum, said that it had the onerous task of repositioning the party to make it stronger.
Damagum, who expressed confidence in the leadership of the committee, said the inauguration was the first step ahead of the party’s convention slated for November 2025.
He charged the members to deploy wisdom, magnanimity and experience to produce a robust formula for a successful convention.
