The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the dissolution of its structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom and Rivers states.
Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, moved the motion for the dissolution at the PDP national convention in Ibadan, the state capital, to validate the executives elected through congresses conducted across the country.
Makinde said congresses held between 2024 and 2025 produced officers at the ward, LG, state and zonal levels, including national ex-officio members.
He said the exercises were peaceful and largely compliant with the Electoral Act 2022, the PDP constitution and the party’s internal rules.
He added that the national executive committee (NEC) and the national working committee (NWC) had already endorsed the congresses and the officials elected.
Makinde said, despite the process, the party had now resolved to disband its structures in the five affected states.
“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,” he said.
“The convention has authorised the publication of this decision to serve as formal notice to the public.”
Daniel Okechukwu, national auditor and member of the NWC, seconded the motion at the convention ground.
