PDP debunks postponement, says national convention holds on Saturday

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied shifting the date for its forthcoming national convention, saying the exercise will be held on Saturday, November 15, and Sunday, November 16, 2025, in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, made this known in a statement on Wednesday, November 12.

Ologunagba, who is the spokesperson for the National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC), said the rumoured postponement was the handiwork of some individuals allegedly hired by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop the PDP national convention.

Ologunagba quoted the PDP’s National Working Committee (NWC) and the NCOC as urging party members and Nigerians “to disregard misleading claims being peddled to the contrary by some individuals who, it has been revealed, are recruited by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in its failed attempt to stop the PDP National Convention.”

He added: “We are aware of the plots by the APC to destabilize the opposition and impose a one-party state in the country; a design that will be lawfully resisted.

“The NCOC and the Party will continue to work assiduously round the clock to ensure a successful National Convention in Ibadan as scheduled.

“While thanking Nigerians for their overwhelming support for our Party, the NCOC welcomes all delegates, Party leaders, officials and all supporters of the PDP who have already started arriving Ibadan for the National Convention.”
