The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected a leaked report from its reconciliation committee, stating that the document does not accurately represent its official stance.

The report was prepared by a six-member panel set up last week to mediate between the party’s rival factions ahead of the national elective convention, which kicks off today in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The PDP has been grappling with deep divisions fueled by conflicting court orders. One faction is led by Abdulrahman Mohammed, the Acting National Chairman, while the other is headed by Umar Damagum, the party’s National Chairman.

Damagum’s group has the backing of the PDP Governors’ Forum, whereas Abdulrahman’s faction leans on support from the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike. To ease the tensions, the BoT constituted a reconciliation panel chaired by Ambassador Hassan Adamu.

On Friday, a report suggesting the suspension of the convention and the creation of a caretaker committee leaked to the press, a development that reportedly embarrassed the Adolphus Wabara-led BoT.

A statement on Saturday morning titled: “PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) disowns Reconciliation Committee Report” by chairman of the Board Senator Adolphus Wabara said the report does not represent the position of the Board. Wabara said the BoT stands by the resolution to go ahead with the national convention in line with the Supreme Court judgement that made the affairs of political parties their internal affair.

In a statement on Saturday, Wabara clarified that while the report exists, it has not been adopted and therefore does not reflect the Board’s position.

“The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party categorically dissociates and distances itself from the purported Report of the BoT Reconciliation Committee being circulated in some sections of the media,” the statement read.

“The BoT states in clear terms that the content of the said Report is not and does not represent the official position of the Board. Having not been considered or adopted by the BoT, it cannot in any form or guise whatsoever be regarded as the position of the BoT.

“The BoT is unwavering in its endorsement of the conduct of the elective national convention as scheduled on Saturday, 15 to Sunday, 16 November 2025 in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, for the purpose of electing a new set of leaders to pilot the affairs of the party in the next four years.

“This position is guided by the judgment of the Supreme Court, which reaffirmed the supremacy of a political party in the conduct of its internal affairs.” The BoT also dismissed calls for a caretaker committee, stressing that the convention is firmly set to go ahead and falls within the party’s jurisdiction, beyond the courts’ reach.

“The BoT therefore urges party members to remain committed and focused on the success of the elective national convention,” the statement added.

Let opposition parties breathe!!! If the ruling party has done well, they won't be scared of any opposition party

Putindbutt:
When will you guys get sense?. PDP constituted a committee, the committee gave a report but you are here shouting the ruling party.

Putindbutt:
I agreed with you, even if you lacked common sense, it's the fault of the ruling party because they are afraid of what will come out of your mouth.

Putindbutt:
Wabara will drag PDP into a deeper hole and when the crisis hits the roof, he will run away from the party. His actions is similar to how Atiku became arrogant and ended up messing things up.
Atiku set up a panel to recommend a VP to him, the panel recommended three names in which Wike was the first on the list. Atiku ignored the panel recommendation and followed his own choice. Atiku later regretted his action, today, he has run away from the party.

PDP set up a reconciliation committee to find a solution to the crisis, the panel recommended a way forward which was earlier confirmed by Saraki but Wabara is flexing muscles dismissing the report. The same arrogance Atiku displayed. Adolphus Wabara will still run away like Atiku when his arrogance destroy the party further.

AMINDA:
Saraki is firmly in the Wike's camp while pretending to be leading the reconciliation committee. He is currently attending Fayose's biryhday party in the company of his leader, Wike who's leader is Tinubu. Do the math.

I won't stoop low to your level...good night!

AMINDA:
Why are you perturbed. Mop the sweat from your brow. I thought the PDP was dead and buried? "What is dead may never die but rises again, harder and stronger". Varlar Morghulis.

Putindbutt:
I was right when I said you're confused. So you love PDP this much before you jumped on Atiku's back to run away from the party, so what now happens to your ADC? 🤡🤡

AMINDA:
Everyone is not your tin-god whose idea of being a master strategist is to destroy all opposition parties and cowardly run unopposed. Nigeria is a muti-party democracy, not a dictatorship. PDP does not need to die for ADC to thrive.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
