Governors and key leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) are currently gathered behind closed doors in Abuja for a high-stakes
meeting aimed at addressing pressing internal challenges confronting the party.
The meeting, convened by the Chairman of the PDP Governors
Forum and Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed, is anticipated to
help define the party’s strategic direction ahead of the 2027 general
elections.
Taking place at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in
Asokoro, the event has drawn the participation of current and former PDP
governors, alongside other prominent party figures.
Among those in attendance are the Acting National Chairman
of the PDP, Ambassador Iliya Damagum; former Bayelsa State Governor, Senator
Seriake Dickson; Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang; Osun State Governor,
Ademola Adeleke; former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola; former Cross
River State Governor, Liyel Imoke; former Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi; former Abis State Governor, Okezie; and former Imo State Governor,
Achike Udenwa, among others.
According to sources, top on the agenda is the urgent need
to tackle the party’s internal crisis, which has triggered a series of
high-profile defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The leaders are expected to deliberate on strategies for
unifying the party and stemming the tide of defections in order to strengthen
its standing ahead of the 2027 elections.
Disputes within the PDP’s National Working Committee are
also under scrutiny. The ongoing leadership issues, particularly concerning the
roles of the National Secretary and the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador
Iliya Damagum, are likely to be discussed, with possible resolutions or new
appointments considered.
The meeting is also expected to set the foundation for the
PDP’s 2027 electoral strategy. Discussions may include whether to pursue
coalition arrangements with other opposition parties or to concentrate on
internal consolidation, as resolved in earlier consultations.
With off-season governorship election looming in Anambra,
the leaders are also expected to explore ways to mobilise resources and
galvanise support for PDP candidate, aiming to secure victory that could boost
the party’s momentum ahead of the 2027 national polls.
The outcome of the meeting, which remains ongoing at the
time of filing this report, is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the
PDP’s future as it confronts internal challenges and prepares for key
elections.
