PDP STATE CHAIRMEN FORUM CONDEMNS APC’S INTIMIDATION TACTICS, SUSPENDS ERRING MEMBERS, AND REAFFIRMS CONFIDENCE IN PARTY LEADERSHIP

The Forum of State Chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held a crucial meeting on Monday, October 14, 2025, at the PDP FCT Secretariat, Abuja, under the chairmanship of Sir Edward Percy Masha, Acting Secretary of the Forum.

The meeting deliberated extensively on issues affecting the unity and stability of the party, reviewed preparations for the forthcoming National Elective Convention slated for November 15–16, 2025, and assessed the state of the opposition across the federation.

After robust discussions, the forum issued the following resolutions:

⸻

1. Condemnation of APC’s Undemocratic Practices

The Forum strongly condemned the All Progressives Congress (APC) for its undemocratic, desperate, and systematic efforts to intimidate, harass, and coerce PDP leaders—including governors, senators, and members of the National and State Assemblies—into defecting.

The Forum described these acts as an assault on democracy, warning that the ruling party’s conduct is a dangerous step toward establishing a de facto one-party state, which Nigerians must collectively resist.

⸻

2. Action Against Sabotage and Indiscipline

The Forum expressed grave concern over the activities of certain individuals within the PDP who, allegedly acting in concert with external interests linked to the APC, have been working to derail the party’s National Convention.

Specifically, the Forum condemned the actions of Hon. Austine Nwachukwu (Imo State) and Hon. Amah Abraham Nnana (Abia State), who recently sought a court injunction to halt the convention. Their actions were unanimously described as a betrayal of the party’s unity and collective resolve.

Consequently, the forum resolved to suspend both members from the body and appointed Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, Chairman of the Edo State PDP, as the new Chairman of the PDP State Chairmen Forum.

⸻

3. Vote of Confidence in Party Leadership

The forum passed a vote of confidence in the National Working Committee (NWC), the PDP Governors’ Forum, and all statutory organs of the party.
It reaffirmed its commitment to work harmoniously with these organs in rebuilding, revitalizing, and repositioning the PDP as Nigeria’s credible alternative and leading political force.

⸻

4. Call for Unity and Preparedness

The forum called on all party members, supporters, and stakeholders across the country to remain calm, united, and steadfast.
It pledged continued cooperation with the party’s national leadership as it undertakes deliberate, strategic steps to strengthen the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.

⸻

The meeting had in attendance 25 chairmen out of its 36 state chapters & FCT, highlighting the growing influence of the forum in the party's and national discourse

Court refuses to stop PDP convention

October 12, 2025

The Federal High Court in Abuja has refused to grant an interim injunction seeking to stop the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from holding its planned National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and national convention scheduled for October and November 2025.

The judge, J.K. Omotosho, in a ruling delivered on Thursday, declined to grant the interim orders filed by Austine Nwachukwu, chairman of the PDP in Imo State; Amah Nnanna, chairman of the Abia State chapter, and Turnah George, secretary of the PDP South-south zone.

The aggrieved party members had filed a motion against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the PDP.

The plaintiffs, through their counsel, Joseph Daudu, alongside Ogwu Onoja, M.A. Ebute, Adedayo Adedeji, and Chima Chidi, had asked the court to restrain INEC from monitoring or recognising any meeting or convention organised by the PDP without due notice and adherence to democratic procedures.

They also sought to stop the party’s leadership from convening the NEC meeting scheduled for 15 October, and the national convention planned for 15 to 16 November, in Ibadan, Oyo State Capital.

However, Mr Omotosho held that the defendants, which are INEC, the PDP, and its principal officers, must first be served with the substantive motion on notice before any restraining order could be made.

“The Motion Ex parte for Interim Injunction is hereby refused. The Plaintiffs/Applicants are hereby ordered to serve the Defendants with the Motion on Notice for Interlocutory Injunction,” the judge said.

The judge, also cautioned all parties against taking any steps capable of rendering the substantive application before the court useless.

“All parties in this suit upon being served with this order and the Motion on Notice for Interlocutory Injunction must not take any step, decision or do any act that will make the outcome of the reliefs in the Motion on Notice for Interlocutory Injunction nugatory,” the judge added.

He added that any action taken to undermine the pending judicial process shall be nullified, emphasising that once a party has been served with court processes, it must refrain from acts that could frustrate the proceedings.

“Any step, decision or act taken to make the outcome of a judicial process such as the Motion on Notice for Interlocutory Injunction nugatory shall be deemed to be a nullity. It is trite law that upon being served with a court process, no party shall take any steps to make the outcome of such process nugatory,” Mr Omotosho said.

The court subsequently adjourned the matter to 14 October 14, for hearing of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction.

The plaintiffs, believed to allies of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Nyesom, are seeking to compel INEC to perform its constitutional duty of monitoring and regulating the internal affairs of the PDP, alleging that the party’s leadership plans to hold the NEC meeting and convention in violation of its constitution and democratic norms.
