PDP Inaugurates Diri-Led Committee to Zone National Convention Offices
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday inaugurated its National Elective Convention Zoning Committee, setting the stage for its November 2025 convention.
The 46-member committee is chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, with Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, as vice chairman, and Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, as secretary.
Speaking at the inauguration held at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, Acting PDP National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, described the committee’s work as critical to repositioning the party ahead of the polls.
“This inauguration marks the first step towards our convention. We trust your leadership to produce a robust zoning formula that will guarantee a successful event. Time is short, and we must act with wisdom, magnanimity, and experience,” Damagum said.
The Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, hailed the selection of Diri and other members, expressing confidence in their capacity to deliver.
“Our governors are fully behind the National Working Committee in its drive to reposition our party as a credible alternative for Nigerians,” he said. “The PDP’s legacies remain unmatched, and our shared experience will guide us towards uniting the country and providing the right leadership.”
In his remarks, Governor Diri acknowledged the magnitude of the task, pledging that the committee would work inclusively and consultatively.
“We will engage stakeholders, partner widely, and ensure fairness and justice in arriving at a zoning formula for our party,” he assured.
The inauguration marks a significant step in the PDP’s preparations for its national convention, where key leadership positions will be contested.
