Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State was named Chairman of the National Convention Committee, with Governors Ademola Adeleke (Osun) and Peter Mbah (Enugu) serving as Vice Chairman and Secretary, respectively.

The Zoning Committee will be chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, with Zamfara’s Governor Dauda Lawal as Vice Chairman and Plateau’s Governor Caleb Mutfwang as Secretary.

Beyond preparations for the convention, the NEC used the opportunity to issue a  rebuke of the All Progressives Congress  administration led by President Bola Tinubu, describing the state of the nation as “sorry and melancholic.”

“NEC expresses serious concern over the sorry and melancholic state of affairs of our Nation under the irredeemably exploitative, insensitive, and anti-people All Progressives Congress  administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”-The communique  stated.

It further condemned the “worsening insecurity; the wanton killings, banditry, kidnapping, marauding of communities and other acts of terrorism,” attributing the crises to what it called President Tinubu’s “apparent negligence and abdication of his Constitutional duty to ensure the safety and security of the nation and her citizens.”

On the economy, the NEC said, “The worsening economic hardship and extreme poverty in the country are  occasioned by the ill-advised and ill-implemented policies of the Tinubu administration hike in fuel price,  increase in electricity tariff,  taxes and unexplained charges resulting in collapse of the productive sector.”

It also described the administration as plagued by “policy inconsistency, wholesale corruption, massive treasury-looting, budget padding and diversion of public funds,” adding that these issues have led to infrastructural decline and investor disinterest.

Regarding the future of democracy in Nigeria, warning against an alleged “sinister plot by the Tinubu-led APC to turn Nigeria into a one-Party totalitarian state,” which it described as being driven by “mortal fear of inevitable defeat in 2027 due to its dismal failure in government.”

The PDP reaffirmed its commitment to democratic values, saying: “NEC restates our Party’s belief in Democracy, the Rule of Law and the Supremacy of the Will of the people as expressed through their free and unhindered democratic participation in multi-party politics and governance.”

The NEC also received the resolution of the South East Zonal Executive concerning the position of the National Secretary and resolved to consider it at the next NEC meeting slated for Monday, June 30, 2025.
