Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, on Friday, led some Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftains to the Federal High Court, Abuja, ahead of the judgment on the party’s planned national convention.
DAILY POST reports that three members of the party, Austin Nwachukwu, Imo PDP chairman, Amah Nnanna, Abia PDP chairman, and Turnah George, South-South PDP Secretary, had instituted the suit seeking to stop the convention where new national officers are expected to be elected.
Recall that the PDP Governors in August cautioned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, and others against derailing the national convention of the party scheduled to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15, 2025.
The party on Monday, postponed the screening of aspirants for its 2025 national convention citing what it described as “unforeseen” issues.
According to the statement by the chairman of the convention committee and governor of Adamawa State, Umaru Fintiri, “The National Convention Organising Committee, NCOC, of our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has put on hold the screening of aspirants for the 2025 Elective National Convention, earlier scheduled for Tuesday, October 28, 2025, due to unforeseen circumstances.
“A new date will be communicated once fixed. The NCOC regrets any inconvenience caused by the postponement.”
