The People’s Democratic Party on Saturday dissolved the entire party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states.
The motion for the dissolution, which was presented at the elective national congress, the party’s highest decision-making organ, by the host Governor, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, was seconded by the party’s National Auditor, Daniel Obiechina Okechukwu.
In the motion, Makinde sought the ratification and approval of the elected executive committees of the PDP at various levels in states and zones where congresses have already been concluded.
The Oyo State governor explained that the 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 noted 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.
Makinde added that the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Working Committee (NWC) had approved the congresses and the officers elected during the process.
He stated, “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.
“The Convention has authorised the publication of this decision to serve as official notice to the public.”
