The Peoples Democratic Party’s National Working Committee has announced the postponement of the State Congress in Plateau and Cross River States, which was initially scheduled to take place on September 27th, 2025. This decision was made to facilitate the election of a new State Executive Committee in the two states.

According to a statement released by Debo Ologunagba, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, on Wednesday in Abuja, the new date for the State Congress will be communicated in due course. The National Working Committee urged all stakeholders, including party leaders, members, the Independent National Electoral Commission, the media, security agencies, and the general public, to take note of the postponement and be guided accordingly.

The postponement of the State Congress in Plateau and Cross River States is a significant development in the party’s internal affairs. The Peoples Democratic Party is one of the major political parties in Nigeria, and its state-level elections are crucial in shaping the party’s leadership and direction. The election of new state executives is expected to have an impact on the party’s overall strategy and preparations for future elections.

The National Working Committee’s decision to postpone the State Congress may be related to various factors, including the need for more time to resolve internal issues or to ensure a more transparent and credible electoral process. The party’s leadership has not provided specific reasons for the postponement, but it is likely that the new date will be announced soon.

The Independent National Electoral Commission and other stakeholders have been informed of the postponement, and they are expected to adjust their plans accordingly. The media and the general public have also been urged to take note of the new development and to await further updates from the party.

As the Peoples Democratic Party continues to navigate its internal processes, the postponement of the State Congress in Plateau and Cross River States serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges involved in party politics. The party’s ability to manage its internal affairs and to conduct credible elections will be closely watched by its members, supporters, and the wider public.
