FCT, Abuja - The State Chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have dissociated themselves from a court action instituted to stop the party’s forthcoming national convention slated to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State, in November 2025.
The PDP state chairmen said they remain committed to the unity and progress of the PDP.
The forum’s chairman and Edo State PDP chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, criticised the conduct of Austine Nwachukwu (Imo) and Amah Abraham Nnana (Abia).
As reported by The Punch, Aziegbemi made this known while speaking to newsmen on behalf of the PDP Chairmen Forum in Abuja.
"We distance ourselves completely from the suit and the plan to use it to stop the PDP from holding its National Convention. This is not right.
“We want to state clearly that we are solidly behind the Damagum-led NWC, and we will give our full support to ensure a hitch-free convention.”
PDP governors dare Wike over Nov 15 convention
Recall that PDP Governors’ Forum warned Nyesom Wike and others against interfering with the November 15, 2025, PDP national convention in Ibadan, Oyo state.
The governors reaffirmed support for the 101st NEC resolutions, urging members to resist anti-party efforts and uphold PDP as a democratic alternative.
Wike expressed dissatisfaction over South-South zoning and the retention of Ali Odefa, warning a crisis could arise if the party ignores Dan Orbih’s election.

They warn that ignoring these resolutions could invalidate the convention, stressing that unity must be anchored on fairness, transparency, and inclusivity.
