The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the dissolution of its party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states.
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State moved the motion at the PDP national convention in Ibadan to formally validate executives elected through congresses conducted nationwide.
Makinde noted that congresses held between 2024 and 2025 produced officers at the ward, local government, state, and zonal levels, including national ex-officio members.
He added that the exercises were conducted peacefully and in compliance with the Electoral Act 2022, the PDP constitution, and the party’s internal regulations.
“The national executive committee (NEC) and the national working committee (NWC) have already endorsed the congresses and the elected officials. However, the party has now resolved to disband its structures in the five affected states,” Makinde said.
He further explained, “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.”
“This decision is authorised for publication to serve as formal notice to the public.”
The motion was seconded by Daniel Okechukwu, national auditor and member of the NWC, at the convention venue.
