The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has postponed its Zonal Congresses in the North- Central, South-South and South-West earlier scheduled for Saturday, April 12, 2025.
The spokesperson of the party Debo Ologunagba stated this on Thursday.
He said the postponement was in solidarity with the Governor and people of Plateau State over the recent killings in the State as well as to enable State Governors in the affected Zones attend and fully participate in the PDP Governor’s Forum meeting scheduled to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State on Sunday, April 13 and Monday, April 14, 2025.
Ologunagba said “Consequently, the NWC has approved the rescheduling of the South West Zonal Congress to Wednesday, April 16, 2025, while a new date for the North Central and South South Zonal Congress will be communicated by the Party in due course.
“To this effect, the NWC charges the Chief Emmanuel Ogidi-led South South Zonal Caretaker Committee to continue to oversee the activities of the Party in the Zone in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) until a new South South Zonal Executive is elected.
“The NWC urges all leaders, critical stakeholders, teeming members of the PDP, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the media, security agencies and the general public to note the postponement and be guided accordingly.”
