The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum has issued a stern warning to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and his supporters against attempts to disrupt the party’s forthcoming national convention scheduled for November 15, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
In a communiqué released after their 7th meeting in Gusau, Zamfara State, on Saturday, the governors reaffirmed their loyalty to the resolutions of the 101st National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in July 2025, insisting that the convention date remains unchanged.
The forum, chaired by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, emphasized that the PDP remains the only credible alternative to rescue Nigeria from the current hardship and divisive governance under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The Forum reaffirms its full commitment to the resolutions of the 101st NEC meeting of July 2025 regarding the November 15 National Convention. It urges members to resist all attempts to derail the convention by anti-party forces,” the communiqué read.
The governors also commended the resilience of party leaders and grassroots members, stressing that orchestrated defections and internal wrangling would not diminish PDP’s appeal.
Wike, however, has publicly rejected aspects of the party’s recent decisions, particularly the South-South Caretaker Committee and zoning arrangements. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today earlier in the week, he warned that fresh crises could erupt if his ally, Dan Orbih, is not recognized as PDP National Vice Chairman (South-South).
Wike also opposed the zoning committee led by Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri and has seen his alliance with Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde collapse. Critics within the party accuse him of anti-party activities since joining the APC-led federal cabinet, a claim he continues to deny.
