The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the postponement of its 103rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, which was initially scheduled to take place on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. This decision was made by the National Working Committee (NWC) during an emergency meeting held in response to recent developments within the party.
According to a statement released by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, on Monday, the postponement is in line with Section 29 (2)(b) of the PDP Constitution, as amended in 2017. The statement informed NEC members of the development and advised them to await further information regarding a new meeting date, which will be communicated in due course.
The PDP’s NEC meeting is a significant event that brings together key stakeholders to discuss party affairs and make important decisions. The postponement of this meeting indicates that the party is taking a cautious approach in addressing its internal matters. As the main opposition party in Nigeria, the PDP’s actions are closely watched by the political community and the public.
The party’s decision to postpone the meeting suggests that the NWC is prioritizing internal cohesion and stability. By citing the party’s constitution as the basis for the postponement, the PDP is emphasizing its commitment to upholding its rules and procedures. The announcement has sparked interest among political observers, who are eager to see how the party will navigate its current challenges.
As the PDP works to address its internal issues, the postponement of the NEC meeting has significant implications for the party’s future direction. The new meeting date, once announced, will be closely watched by party members, supporters, and the wider political community. For now, NEC members and stakeholders will have to wait for further updates from the party’s leadership regarding the next steps and the rescheduled meeting date.
