The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the judiciary, and security agencies to ensure a peaceful and credible 2025 National Convention. In a statement, the PDP Media Sub-Committee expressed concerns that the All Progressives Congress (APC) might attempt to disrupt the convention through judicial processes.

The PDP’s convention is scheduled to take place on November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State. The party has expressed confidence in the new INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, and will closely monitor the commission’s actions before, during, and after the exercise. The PDP’s concerns are rooted in the APC’s past actions, which have raised fears among party supporters that similar tactics might be employed to stop or postpone the convention.

According to the PDP, certain elements within and outside the party may attempt to serve the interests of the APC by disrupting the convention. The party warned that such actions would ultimately lead to consequences. The PDP’s statement highlighted the importance of patriotism and professionalism in ensuring a successful convention.

The 2025 National Convention is a crucial event for the PDP, as it will shape the party’s direction and leadership ahead of future elections. The party’s ability to conduct a peaceful and credible convention will be closely watched by stakeholders and the international community. The INEC, judiciary, and security agencies play a critical role in ensuring the convention’s success.

As the convention approaches, the PDP and its supporters will be monitoring the situation closely, eager to see if the party can navigate potential challenges and emerge stronger. The outcome of the convention will have significant implications for Nigeria’s political landscape, and all eyes will be on the PDP and the relevant authorities to ensure a free and fair process. With the convention just weeks away, the stage is set for a critical moment in Nigerian politics.
