The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hailed the judgement of the Oyo State High Court ordering the party to proceed with its national convention.
The board also said it stands with the Amb. Iliya Damagum-led National Working Committee, the PDP Governors Forum, the National Convention Planning Committee and other critical organs of the party.
In a communique signed by Senator Adolphus Wabara, Chairman, PDP Board of Trustees at the end of its meeting on Wednesday, 5th November, 2025, the BoT said that the PDP remains a united, formidable and focused political party under the leadership of the Amb. Iliya Damagum-led National Working Committee (NWC).
While commending the Damagum-led team, it reiterated its commitment towards the conduct of the Elective National Convention scheduled to hold on the 15th and 16th of November 2025 in Ibadan, Oyo State Capital.
“The BoT welcomes the ruling of the Oyo State High Court, presided over by Justice A L Akintola which affirmed the Constitutional right and liberty of our Party to manage its internal affairs including holding our 2025 Elective National Convention as scheduled. This landmark Ruling is victory to Democracy, Rule of Law and political development in our country,” it said.
The BoT however expressed worry over the recent developments within its ranks that had caused understandable concerns. “The tensions, misunderstandings, and regrettable incidents that have played out in public including the invasion of our National Secretariat are not reflective of the ideals and character of the PDP.
“As the conscience of the party, the BoT cannot and will not take sides but remain focused on safeguarding the integrity of the PDP and ensuring dialogue over discord. The decision for reconciliation is not as a sign of weakness, but as a demonstration of maturity and responsibility,” it said.
Meanwhile, the BoT has set up a high-powered committee to immediately reconcile all conflicting sides and restore unity of purpose in the party as it heads to the Elective National Convention in Ibadan.
The members of the BoT Reconciliation Committee are as follows;
(a) Amb. Hassan Adamu (North East) – Chairman
(b)Chief Mike Oghiadomhe (South South)- Secretary
(c) Chief Ugochukwu Okeke (South East)
(d)Sen. Zaynab Kure (North Central)
(e) Prince Onyinlola Olagunsoye (South West)
(f) Dr. Lubna Mohammed Gusau (North West)
The BoT mandated the Reconciliation Committee to report back to it on Tuesday, 11th November, 2025 for further action.
