The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has postponed its 103rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, earlier scheduled for Wednesday, October 15, 2025, citing recent developments within the party.
The postponement was announced in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.
According to the statement, the decision followed an emergency meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) held in Abuja, where members resolved to shift the NEC meeting to a new date that will be communicated later.
“Distinguished members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) may recall that the 103rd NEC meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, 15th October, 2025,” Ologunagba stated.
“However, in view of recent developments in the party, the NWC, in exercise of its powers pursuant to Section 29 (2)(b) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017), has approved the postponement of the meeting to a new date that will be communicated to members in due course.”
The party urged all NEC members to take note of the change and await further communication from the national secretariat.
The development comes amid a wave of defections of key PDP members to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which has heightened internal tension within the opposition party.
In response to the defections, the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has assured party faithful that the PDP remains united and resilient.
Mohammed stated that no political defections or external pressure would derail the party’s plans for its National Convention, scheduled to take place in Ibadan, Oyo State, between November 15 and 16, 2025.
