The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is set to hold its national elective convention in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, despite a court order restricting the recognition of its outcome by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. The two-day event, scheduled for November 15 and 16, has drawn delegates from across the country, who have begun arriving at the venue.

In preparation for the convention, the party has expressed its readiness to host the event, stating that the city of Ibadan is fully equipped to accommodate the gathering. A post on the party’s official Facebook page welcomed delegates, governors, and stakeholders to the “Historic National Elective Convention.” The party quoted one of its members, Kehinde Ogunlana, as saying that Ibadan has made meticulous plans to ensure a successful event, with every detail taken into account.

The convention is expected to be a significant event in Nigeria’s political landscape, with the PDP being one of the country’s major political parties. The party has a substantial following and has produced several high-profile politicians. The outcome of the convention is likely to have implications for the country’s political future.

The court order restricting the recognition of the convention’s outcome by INEC has added a layer of complexity to the event. However, the party has decided to proceed with the convention, citing its constitutional right to hold the event. The development has sparked interest among political observers, who are watching to see how the situation unfolds.

As the convention gets underway, all eyes will be on Ibadan, with many awaiting the outcome of the event. The PDP has assured delegates and stakeholders of a safe and successful convention, with the city’s infrastructure and security reportedly in place to accommodate the large gathering. The next two days are expected to be crucial in shaping the party’s future and potentially impacting the country’s political trajectory.
