The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has inaugurated a high-powered reconciliation committee to mend internal divisions and foster unity within the party ahead of its elective national convention scheduled for November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The committee is chaired by Ambassador Hassan Adamu (North East) with Chief Mike Oghiadomhe (South South) serving as secretary. Other members include Chief Ugochukwu Okeke (South East), Senator Zaynab Kure (North Central), Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola (South West), and Dr. Lubna Mohammed Gusau (North West). The committee is expected to submit its report to the BoT on Tuesday, November 11.

In a communiqué issued after an emergency meeting on Wednesday, November 5, the BoT reaffirmed its confidence in the Ambassador Iliya Damagum-led National Working Committee (NWC) and other party organs, commending their efforts in stabilizing the PDP amid internal disputes.

The BoT also welcomed the recent ruling of the Oyo State High Court, which upheld the party’s constitutional right to conduct its national convention, describing the judgment as “a victory for democracy and the rule of law.”

Expressing concern over the recent invasion of the party’s national secretariat and rising tensions among factions, the BoT urged all members to prioritize dialogue and reconciliation, emphasizing that peace and cohesion are essential for the PDP’s continued growth and political strength.
