(DDM) – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the dissolution of its party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the decision was taken during the PDP national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, where Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo moved the motion to validate the executives elected through congresses conducted across the country.
Makinde explained that the congresses, held between 2024 and 2025, produced party officers at ward, local government, state, and zonal levels, including national ex-officio members.
He said the exercises were peaceful and largely compliant with the Electoral Act 2022, the PDP constitution, and the party’s internal regulations.
According to Makinde, the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Working Committee (NWC) had already endorsed the outcomes of the congresses and the elected officials.
Despite this, the convention resolved to dissolve all party structures in the five affected states.
“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,” Makinde stated.
He added that the decision would be formally published to serve as notice to the public.
The motion was seconded at the convention ground by Daniel Okechukwu, the national auditor and member of the NWC, signaling the party’s commitment to organizational restructuring ahead of upcoming elections.
