COMMUNIQUE ISSUED BY PDP GOVERNORS' FORUM AFTER ITS 2025/4TH MEETING HELD IN IBADAN ON MONDAY, APRIL 15, 2025

The Peoples Democratic Party Governors' Forum (PDPGF) held its 2025/4th Meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State, and resolved the following;

1. Noting the nationwide speculations about possible merger of political parties, groups and/or associations, the Forum resolved that the PDP will not join any coalition or merger. However, the PDP as a major opposition party welcomes any party, persons or groups that are willing to join it with a view to wrestling power and enthroning good leadership in 2027.

2. The Forum reiterates its position taken in Asaba on the issue of the National Secretary of the party, but in the wake of the Supreme Court judgment, Forum resolved to recommend that the Deputy National Secretary acts as National Secretary, pending the nomination and ratification of a Substantive Secretary from the South East Zone and NEC respectively at its next meeting.

3. The Forum reasserts our collective determination to avert a r**e of our constitutional democracy hence the decision of approaching the Supreme Court to give a clear cut verdict on the interpretation of the provisions of the law on the declaration of State of Emergency in any state.

The Forum restates its solidarity with His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, on the ordeal into which his state and people are being plunged by the declaration of a state of emergency. And we reiterate our commitment to stand with him till the end.

4. The Forum finds alarming the worsening security situation in the country, as evidenced in parts of the country especially Borno, Plateau, Katsina and Edo States. The Forum calls for review and reordering of priorities and strategies including adopting a bottom up template that guarantees the sub-nationals to constitute an effective line of defence against security breaches. While raising the concerns above, we condemn the recent attacks in Plateau State, and commiserate with the government and people of the state especially those who lost their lives and properties during this unfortunate mishap.

5. The Forum resolves that working in conjunction with the National Working Committee (NWC) and other relevant organs of the party, to hold a NEC Meeting on the 27th of May, 2025; constitute a Zoning Committee that will address all issues relating to zoning of party offices and hold an early convention in August 2025, precisely on the 28th, 29th and 30th in the ancient city of Kano.

6. The Forum equally recommends the constitution of the Zoning and National Convention Committees for ratification by the NWC and NEC as follows;

Zoning Committee: Gov. Douye Diri – Chairman; Gov. Dauda Lawal – Vice Chairman and Gov. Caleb Mutfwang – Secretary, while the National Convention Committee has Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri as Chairman; Gov. Ademola Adeleke as Vice Chairman and Gov. Peter Mbah as Secretary.

7. The Forum expressed its gratitude to the host Governor, His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde, the government and good people of Oyo state for their hospitality.

1) H.E. Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, Governor, Bauchi State & Chairman, PDP Governors’ Forum

Abia North 2027: I am ready to replace Senator Orji Kalu – Emeka Kalu reveals

The announcement by Chief Dr Emeka Kalu to contest for the Abia North Senate seat in 2027 has sent ripples through the political landscape of Abia State. As the Chairman of the ECK Foundation, Kalu has demonstrated his commitment to empowering the people of Abia North through various initiatives, including education, skill acquisition, and economic empowerment programs. This experience has equipped him with a deep understanding of the needs and challenges of his constituents.

Kalu’s decision to run for the Senate seat is driven by his desire to bring fresh ideas and energy to the Abia North Senatorial Zone. He believes that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has done his part in the Senate and should step down to allow new leaders to emerge. This vision for change and his willingness to challenge the status quo demonstrate his preparedness to take on the responsibilities of a senator.

In comparison to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, who has been representing Abia North in the Senate since 2019, Kalu is poised to bring a new perspective and approach to the role. While Senator Kalu has had his achievements, including being appointed as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the South-East Development Commission, Emeka Kalu’s leadership experience, empowerment initiatives, and political vision make him an attractive alternative for the people of Abia North.

As the people of Abia North look to the future, they may find Kalu’s fresh perspective and energy to be the change they need. His commitment to empowering his constituents and his willingness to challenge the status quo demonstrate his preparedness to take on the responsibilities of a senator. As the 2027 senatorial election approaches, it will be interesting to see how Emeka Kalu’s candidacy unfolds as he emerges as the new face of Abia North in the Senate.

The declaration of an emergency rule in Rivers State does not only throttle the wheels of the nation's surviving democracy but also an infraction of the law

19/03/2025

Suspension of Rivers Government is very undemocratic , and I can’t find any where in the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria were it says that Mr President has the right to remove a democratically elected Governor , Rather he can invoke his powers yes to maintain law and order in the state . Meaning that the government will be running , but the federal Government controls all movements and security in the state . This is not looking good on Nigeria as we speak .
