The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom and Rivers will no longer be functioning after the Party dissolved them following a decision concluded at the Party’s Saturday’s National Convention held in Ibadan.
Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, moved the motion, saying the move was necessary to validate executives elected through congresses held nationwide.
Makinde explained that the exercises, conducted between 2024 and 2025, produced officers at the ward, local government, state and zonal levels, as well as national ex-officio members.

He added that the congresses were peaceful and complied with the Electoral Act 2022, the PDP constitution and internal party regulations.
According to him, both the national executive committee (NEC) and the national working committee (NWC) had ratified the outcomes of the congresses and the emergence of new officials.
Despite this, he announced that the party had resolved to disband the structures in the affected states.
“In the case of Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom and Rivers, the convention hereby dissolves all party structures at the ward, local government and state levels,” Makinde said.
“The convention has authorised the publication of this decision to serve as formal notice to the public.”
Daniel Okechukwu, the party’s national auditor and member of the NWC, seconded the motion.
