The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appointed Senator Ben Ndi Obi as the new Secretary of its National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC).
The appointment was announced in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by Debo Ologunagba, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary and Secretary of the Publicity and Communication Sub-committee of the NCOC.
This appointment follows the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State to the All Progressives Congress (APC), who previously held the position.
Senator Ben Obi replaces Governor Mbah as Secretary of the NCOC, tasked with ensuring the success of the 2025 elective national convention.
The convention is scheduled to take place on November 15-16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, urged party leaders, stakeholders, and members to remain united and focused on the convention’s success.
The committee is chaired by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State, whose efforts were commended by the PDP’s National Working Committee.
