Sequel to the recent Court of Appeal ruling that invalidated the party’s November 2025 National Convention, the PDP Board of Trustees has moved to reconcile aggrieved stakeholders.
Adolphus Wabara, the chairman of the BOT made this disclosure after the meeting of the expanded BOT on Wednesday in Abuja.
“The BoT is disturbed by the avoidable internal leadership disputes and wranglings leading to damaging litigations with consequential detrimental effect on the unity and smooth running of the PDP as the major opposition party in the country.
“The Board, however, acknowledges and resolves to explore the window provided by the Court of Appeal, Ibadan Division, for reconciliation within the party.
“The BoT is conscious of the interest and aspiration of our members who are desirous of contesting various positions in the 2027 general elections. Conscious of the onus on the BoT as the conscience and third highest leadership organ of the party, the Board is resolved to take immediate steps to reconcile all stakeholders, put an end to all disputes and restore the party to good political health, particularly to enable the PDP field candidates in the 2027 general elections.
“The BoT constitutes a special committee to immediately interface with the legal teams and any other stakeholders to foster reconciliation within the party.”
“The BoT therefore calls on all leaders and members of our party to jettison all personal and group interests and come together as one family in the overall interest of our party and the wellbeing of millions of Nigerians whose hope is anchored on the PDP.
“The BoT commends the efforts of our governors; Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for their commitment and steadfastness towards the party and the wellbeing of all Nigerians.
“The BoT, pursuant to Section 32 of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017), unanimously approved the appointment of Dr. Babangida Aliyu as the Secretary of the Board.
“The BoT urges Nigerians not to be dispirited but remain hopeful as the PDP works hard in repositioning itself for the task of salvaging our nation from the stranglehold of the All Progressives Congress.”
