PDP INSISTS NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL PROCEED DESPITE COURT RESTRAINT
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reaffirmed that its national convention, scheduled for November 15–16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State, will proceed as planned despite a recent Federal High Court ruling restraining the event.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, PDP National Publicity Secretary and Secretary of the 2025 National Convention Organising Publicity Sub-committee, Debo Ologunagba, dismissed reports of a postponement as “false, misleading, and the handiwork of political detractors.”
The statement read in part: “The 2025 national convention of the PDP has not been postponed but will go on as scheduled on Saturday, November 15, and Sunday, November 16, 2025, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
“We urge all party members and Nigerians to disregard the misleading claims being peddled by some individuals recruited by the All Progressives Congress in its failed attempt to stop the PDP national convention.”
Ologunagba, speaking for the National Working Committee (NWC) and the National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC), accused the APC of plotting to destabilize the opposition and impose a one-party state, vowing lawful resistance.
He noted that delegates and stakeholders had already begun arriving in Ibadan, with the NCOC working round the clock for a successful event
