The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), during its national convention in Ibadan, has announced the dissolution of all party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states.
The decision was confirmed when host Governor Seyi Makinde moved a motion to ratify and approve the elected executive committees of the PDP at various levels in states and zones where congresses have already been concluded. This motion was presented at the elective national congress, the party’s highest decision-making body.
Governor Makinde explained that congresses were held across the country between 2024 and 2025 to elect party executives at the ward, local government, state, and geopolitical zone levels, including national ex-officio members.
He emphasised that the congresses were conducted freely, fairly, and substantially in compliance with the Electoral Act 2022, the PDP constitution, and party guidelines in all geopolitical zones and most states. Furthermore, he noted that the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Working Committee (NWC) had approved the congresses and the officers elected throughout the process.
However, Makinde stated that all party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers have now been dissolved. He declared, “In the case of Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers, the Convention hereby dissolves all party structures at the ward, local government, and state levels.”
