PDP Dissolves Party Structures in Five Southern States at National Convention

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has dissolved all party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states during its national convention in Ibadan. The decision was announced by Governor Seyi Makinde, who moved the motion for the dissolution, which was seconded by Daniel Obiechina Okechukwu, a member of the National Working Committee (NWC).

The dissolution was part of a move to ratify and approve the conduct of new executive committee elections across the country for the 2024-2025 period. Makinde explained that the congresses would be held at various levels in line with the Electoral Act of 2022 and the PDP constitution.

The dissolution of the party structures at the ward, local government, and state levels was aimed at reorganizing and strengthening the party's operations in the affected states.
