The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the postponement of its 103rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, which was initially planned for Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
In a statement shared on X on Monday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, disclosed that the National Working Committee (NWC) reached the decision during an emergency session held in Abuja.
Ologunagba stated, “Distinguished members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) may recall that the 103rd NEC meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, 15th October, 2025.
However, in view of recent developments in the party, the National Working Committee (NWC) in exercise of its powers pursuant to Section 29 (2)(b) of the Constitution of the (as amended in 2017) has at its emergency meeting on Monday, 13th October, 2025 approved the postponement of the 103rd NEC meeting to a new date that will be communicated to members in due course.”
He further appealed to all NEC members to take note of the new development and await official communication from the party’s national secretariat regarding the rescheduled date.
The decision comes amid ongoing internal challenges and a wave of defections from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). In the face of these pressures, leaders within the opposition party have maintained a strong front.
Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has reaffirmed the party’s resolve, insisting that no political manoeuvres or defections would derail its plans.
He declared that neither political defections nor any external force can stop the National Convention of the PDP slated to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State, between November 15 and 16.
