PDP Getting Repositioned Ahead Of 2027 General Election, Our Convention ‘ll Hold As Planned-Wabara

The nation’s leading opposition party, the PDP, on Thursday insisted that nothing will stop its national convention scheduled to hold in Ibadan between November 15 and 16, 2025.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, Chief Adolphus Wabara said this during the presentation of the report of the BoT Reconciliation Committee in Abuja on Thursday.

Wabara, a former Senate President, asserted that the party remains a formidable force and currently  focused on getting repositioned ahead of upcoming general election.

‘It is absolutely practicable for us to go to the convention. All the organs of the party—the Governors’ Forum, the National Working Committee, and the Board of Trustees—have agreed that we will proceed. Our last communiqué also made mention of it.

If we are stopped by the courts, we are a law-abiding party. We will obey the law or obey the last order, as the case may be’ he said.

He also said it is not too late to intervene and address intraparty conflicts in PDP while noting that the party’s problems are ‘self-inflicted’ and a product of conflicting personal and political interests.

‘There is actually no crisis. All these problems we have in the PDP are self-inflicted. In politics, it’s all about interests. Some people want the party dead now so they can resurrect it in 2031 for their own purposes’ he said.

Wabara expressed the BoT’s commitment to preserving the unity and survival of the party, adding that ‘I am not thinking of contesting for anything. Our decisions will always be in the interest of the PDP and Nigerians. The PDP remains a party for the people’.

Earlier, Chairman of the BoT Reconciliation Committee, Alhaji Hassan Adamu, said the committee, inaugurated on November 5, 2025, immediately began consultations with key stakeholders to ensure a smooth and credible convention.

‘We have spoken to various segments of our party—the leaders, the Governors’ Forum, and others—and we have now come up with our recommendations for a hitch-free convention. It has been a challenging task, but we have done our best’ he said.

Presenting the report, Secretary of the Committee, who was the Chief of Staff, State House, Abuja during the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Mr Mike Oghiadomhe, disclosed that the panel held extensive engagements with major stakeholders, including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, members of the Governors’ Forum, the NWC, and the suspended national officers.

‘We met with the Minister of the FCT, the Governors’ Forum, and the NWC led by the Deputy National Chairman in the absence of Ambassador Damagum. We also met with the suspended National Secretary, Sam Anyanwu, the National Organising Secretary, and the National Legal Adviser’ he submitted while adding that the committee also consulted former Senate President Bukola Saraki and other senior party figures before coming up with its report and recommendations.

‘We believe that we have addressed all the key issues troubling our party. Our recommendations provide a clear roadmap for sustainable and effective party administration at this critical time’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
