The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ recent meeting in Abuja was a crucial gathering aimed at addressing the party’s internal challenges and strategizing for its future.
The PDP has been grappling with internal rifts and a wave of defections, particularly following the 2023 general elections.
The meeting sought to find solutions to these issues and restore unity within the party.
A significant goal was to prepare for the upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for May 27th, and the party’s national convention.
The aim was to ensure these events proceed smoothly.
Discussions also centered on repositioning the PDP for the 2027 general elections.
The party leaders aimed to develop strategies to regain strength and improve their electoral prospects.
A large focus was placed on how to stop the current wave of defections that the PDP has been experiencing.
The meeting brought together PDP governors, former governors, and other key stakeholders.
Notably, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, made a significant appearance, sparking discussions about his role within the party.
Governors that were present include, Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Ademola Adeleke (Osun), Seyi Makinde (Oyo) and others.
Former governors that were present included, Bukola Saraki, and Ahmed Makarfi.
A seven-man committee was established, chaired by Bukola Saraki, to prepare for a “rancour-free” NEC meeting.

The meeting underscored the PDP’s commitment to reconciliation and resolving internal disputes.
