Current and former governors, alongside key leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are gathered in Abuja for a high-stakes meeting to address pressing internal challenges confronting the party. The meeting, convened by Bauchi State Governor Senator Bala Mohammed, aims to define the party’s strategic direction ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The event, taking place at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, has drawn prominent party figures, including Acting National Chairman Ambassador Iliya Damagum, former Bayelsa State Governor Senator Seriake Dickson, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, among others.
Top on the agenda is tackling the party’s internal crisis, which has triggered high-profile defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress. The leaders are expected to deliberate on strategies for unifying the party and strengthening its standing ahead of the 2027 elections.
Disputes within the PDP’s National Working Committee, particularly concerning the roles of the National Secretary and Acting National Chairman, are likely to be discussed. The meeting may also explore coalition arrangements with other opposition parties or internal consolidation and discuss mobilizing resources for the upcoming Anambra governorship election.
The outcome of the meeting is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the PDP’s future as it confronts internal challenges and prepares for key elections.
