The Abdulrahman Mohammed-led National Caretaker Committee (NCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has fixed March 28 and March 29 for the party’s national convention in Abuja.
The party made this known in a communique issued at the end of the 105th meeting of its National Executive Committee (NEC) on Monday night.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the communique was read by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Haruna Mohammed, at the end of the meeting, held at the official residence of the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, in Abuja.
In the communique, signed by Mohammed and the National Secretary, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, the party also slated ward and local government congresses for February and
State congresses for March. It said that the party’s NEC had directed the NCC, in collaboration with the National Organising Secretary and relevant organs of the party, to issue detailed guidelines, notices, and modalities for the conduct of the congresses.
The communique added that the committee had been directed to act strictly in compliance with the PDP constitution, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regulations, and judicial directives.
The party’s NEC also unanimously reconfirmed, ratified, and reaffirmed the full content, validity, force, and effect of all resolutions and decisions reached at the 104th emergency NEC meeting held on Dec. 7, 2025.
“That all actions taken, pursuant to the 104th NEC resolutions, remain binding, lawful and operative, having been taken in strict compliance with the PDP Constitution (as amended), the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the Electoral Act, and relevant judicial pronouncements,” the communique stated.
The party’s NEC also welcomed and affirmed the judgment of the Federal High Court in Ibadan, which upheld the legality of the party’s leadership and administrative arrangements and directed INEC to recognise the duly constituted caretaker committee.
