The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) reached some resolutions at its 101st National Executive Committee (NEC) hich took place on Thursday 24 July, 2025.
At the Meeting, the ‘Umbrella’ Party resolved to constitute a committee that will organise the National Convention which has been scheduled to hold on November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The Party also resolved to set up a Zoing Committee that will allocate party offices to various geo-political zones.
The Reconciliation and Strategy Committee led by 13th President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki, successfully executed the “mandate” given to the Committee by the PDP Governors Forum “to clear all obstacles preventing the party from holding its NEC meeting”.
Following the Meeting, Saraki said, the PDP is set to emerge a “solid platform” that will truly serve Nigeria, as well as, ensure “good governance for her people”.
Saraki disclosed via X: “Our great party, the @OfficialPDPNig, successfully held its 101st National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting today. Several issues were successfully resolved during the meeting. These include the constitution of a committee to organise the National Convention which has now been fixed for November 15th and 16th in Ibadan, Oyo State, and the setting up of the Zoning Committee for allocation of party offices to the various geo-political zones.
“The meeting saw the returned national secretary, Sen. Sam Anyanwu, and the Ag. National Chairman, Amb. Umar Damagum working together peacefully with the rest of the NWC members. This will finally allay the fears of those who speculated that the national secretary would return to frustrate the party’s move to hold a successful NEC meeting and undermine the efforts to hold a national convention. To confirm that the party is toeing the path of legality and following due process, we invited observers from the regulator, INEC to witness the deliberations at the NEC meeting. This is a milestone for us as a party.
“I am particularly elated that with the success of today’s meeting, the Reconciliation and Strategy Committee headed by me has achieved parts of the mandate given to us by the PDP Governors Forum on May 12, 2025. We were mandated to clear all obstacles preventing the party from holding its NEC meeting and moving on to have a hitch-free national convention.
“The outcome of today’s meeting is an indication that our committee is delivering on our assignment. The NEC meeting was successfully held. Also, the machinery for a successful convention has been set in motion.
“As we give all glory to Almighty Allah for the progress so far made, we acknowledge that this breakthrough would not have been possible without the efforts of the PDP governors led by their chairman, Sen. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State. We thank the governors for their foresight and concessions.. I also appreciate the contributions of our founding fathers, leaders, elders, and stakeholders who have made sacrifices to get us to this stage. My Kudos go to all NWC and NEC members who have demonstrated the spirit of accommodation and give and take to ensure there is peace and that the party is waxing stronger.
“What is left is for all of us to continue working towards the success of the national convention in Ibadan. I am very sure that all is set for the PDP to move into a new frontier as a solid platform that will truly serve Nigeria and provide good governance for her people.
“Thank you all.”
