The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum held its 4th meeting for 2025 in Ibadan, Oyo State, and made several key resolutions.
The PDP will not join any coalition or merger with other political parties but welcomes individuals or groups willing to join the party to wrestle power and promote good leadership in 2027.
The Forum recommended that the Deputy National Secretary act as National Secretary pending the nomination and ratification of a substantive Secretary from the South East Zone.
The PDP Governors’ Forum reasserted its solidarity with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, opposing the declaration of a state of emergency in the state and pledging to stand with him until the end, while also seeking a Supreme Court interpretation on the matter.
