The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dissolved its structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states.
According to DAILY POST, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State initiated the motion for the dissolution during the PDP national convention held in Ibadan, the state capital, to validate the executives elected through congresses conducted nationwide.
The governor noted that congresses held between 2024 and 2025 resulted in the election of officials at the ward, local government, state, and zonal levels, including national ex-officio members.
Makinde further emphasized that these exercises were conducted peacefully and largely adhered to the Electoral Act 2022, the PDP constitution, and the party’s internal regulations.
He also mentioned that the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Working Committee (NWC) had already endorsed the congresses and the elected officials.

“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.
“The convention has authorized the publication of this decision to serve as formal notice to the public,” he stated.
The National Auditor and member of the NWC, Daniel Okechukwu, supported the motion at the convention.
