BREAKING: PDP Elective National Convention Rescheduled for November 2025 in Ibadan

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially announced a new date for its much-anticipated elective national convention, confirming that the event will now hold in November 2025.

Initially planned for August 2025, the national convention has been postponed and will now take place in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State. This announcement was made public on Thursday by Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, during the party’s 101st National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

Ologunagba clarified that while Kano State was previously scheduled to host the convention, logistical and strategic considerations have led to the decision to shift the venue to Ibadan.

In a related development, Umar Iliya Damagum, the Acting National Chairman of the PDP, revealed a positive shift within the party ranks. According to Damagum, many of the members who previously aligned with a political coalition have begun to return to the PDP.

He further emphasized that those members admitted they never truly abandoned the party, but had merely attended a few coalition meetings. Damagum referred to the coalition as a “failed political experiment,” expressing confidence that the PDP remains the only political platform with the national presence, credibility, and legacy needed to reposition Nigeria.

He reassured the party faithful that the PDP is strategically prepared to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming general elections. He maintained that the party’s grassroots structure and national spread are unmatched, making it the only viable alternative to the APC-led government.
