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 warned that the All Progressives Congress (APC) might try to disrupt the convention through judicial processes. The party’s convention is scheduled for 15‑16 November in Ibadan, Oyo State, and the PDP expressed confidence in the new INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, saying it will closely monitor the commission’s actions before, during and after the event.
The PDP’s concerns stem from past APC actions that have raised fears among its supporters that similar tactics could be used to stop or postpone the convention. The party cautioned that certain elements, both within and outside the PDP, might act in the APC’s interest by attempting to disrupt the gathering, and warned that such actions would have consequences.
The statement emphasized the importance of patriotism and professionalism in delivering a successful convention. As a crucial event that will shape the PDP’s direction and leadership ahead of future elections, the 2025 National Convention will be closely watched by stakeholders and the international community. The INEC, judiciary and security agencies play a critical role in guaranteeing its success.
With the convention only weeks away, the PDP and its supporters are monitoring the situation closely, eager to see whether the party can navigate potential challenges and emerge stronger. The outcome will have significant implications for Nigeria’s political landscape, and all eyes are on the PDP and the relevant authorities to ensure a free and fair process.
