PDP Faction Inaugurates Committee for March 2026 Convention

The faction of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) supported by Mohammed Umar, a former governor, inaugurated a convention committee on Saturday night in Abuja. This committee is tasked with organizing the party's convention set for March 29-30, 2026.

During the inauguration, Umar emphasized the importance of reconciliation within the party, urging members to move past previous crises. He referenced a recent court of appeal judgment that offered an opportunity for reconciliation, highlighting that the verdict was a reminder that true victory lies in collective survival rather than individual triumphs.

The committee is seen as a pivotal moment for the PDP, aiming to restore confidence and reaffirm democratic processes within the party. Umar stated that the committee's work is not merely a legal victory but a moral and political reset, essential for rebuilding and strengthening the party ahead of future electoral opportunities.

The faction is committed to ensuring a credible convention and fostering unity within the party.
