PDP Dissolves Party Structures in Abia, Imo, Others

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dissolved its party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states following a motion moved at the ongoing national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State moved the motion for the dissolution, stating that the step was necessary to validate executives elected through congresses conducted nationwide. According to him, the congresses held between 2024 and 2025 produced officers at the ward, local government, state, and zonal levels, including national ex officio members.

Makinde said the congresses were peaceful and largely complied with the Electoral Act 2022, the PDP constitution, and the party’s internal guidelines.

The motion was seconded by Daniel Okechukwu, National Auditor and member of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC), who announced the affected states during the convention.

“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,” Okechukwu declared.

He added that the convention had authorised the publication of the decision as a formal notice to the public.
