The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dissolved structures of the party in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom and Rivers States.
The dissolution was carried out at the ongoing elective national convention of the party holding in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
Oyo State governor, Engr Seyi Makinde, who confirmed the dissolution in the affected states, moved motion for the convention to ratify and approve elected executive committees of the party at various levels in states and zones where congresses have already been concluded.
The motion was seconded by the National Auditor and member of the PDP National Working Committee, Daniel Obiechina Okechukwu.
“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.
“The Convention has authorised the publication of this decision to serve as official notice to the public,” Makinde said.
He explained that congresses were held across the country between 2024 and 2025 to elect party executives at the ward, local government, state, and geopolitical zone levels, including national ex-officio members.
Makinde maintained that the congresses were conducted substantially in compliance with the Electoral Act 2022, the PDP constitution, and party guidelines.
He added that the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Working Committee (NWC) had approved the congresses and the officers elected during the process.
