You don't even know that the Caretaker Committee has to be affirmed at the Convention.

Only the National Convention can confer leadership at that level. So whichever way like I always said, it was inevitable that the Convention should have taken place. It is people who didn't want it to hold that plan to kill the opposition. This NWC's tenure ends Dec 7, of which anything they do after then becomes a nullity, so what should they have done?
Which one is the caretaker committee inside this news?


Did INEC attend this event huh

PDP are just misbehaving. The court would deal with them, ruthless. Why didn't they invite INEC to witness the convention? No aspirant would want to emerge from the primaries conducted by the new EXCO as their primaries would be invalidated by the court as being illegal and conducted by an illegal EXCO. Anybody with political aspirations under the PDP would likely trade with caution and align with the EXCO that has INEC recognition.

National convention with no presence of INEC officials grin. If this convention later produce candidates for elections through primary elections, the candidates produced will lose their seats if they win during main elections. Exercise in futility. Won't be the first time sha, both PDP and APC were casualties in the past
So why was the INEC absent after being duly notified?if INEC wasnt working for APC why were they absent?

We don't need any soothsayers to say it; we all know that Mr. Wike and his gang are heading to court on Monday morning to stop the newly elected officials from parading themselves as the real party officials.

I thought they just confirmed Damagum as the Chairman. The PDP is finally on its final destination to disintegration. The party is dead just waiting to be buried. They should have opted for a caretaker committee and fight out the various court cases. This convention is a nullity. Who is going to sign the nomination form for Gov. Adeleke?
Just the way APC have killed Nigeria and waiting to be buried . PDP eras gave Nigeria best of life but we didn't know.

Absolutely!

Hopefully the cases in court can be trashed, especially the one in the court of Omotosho. That appears like a trap. Hopefully the appeal court can dismiss it and PDP can move on.

As for Wike and his co-sojourners, their expulsion was long overdue. Without tackling Wike’s arrogance, PDP would continue in the limbo.

The governor of Rivers state is in a dilemma, just like Adeleke. Fubara wants to remain in PDP, but he cannot, as he has to follow Wike’s direction. Given a choice, Fubara would have been in the convention. Sorry for going out of line with this.
Futura will still be exploring ways to get out wikes grip,but he can seem to do that while wike is still serving with Tinubu,if not I believe fubara would have won the battle.Its just the presidential might that is too much for him

PDP is coming back gradually.....
Just has to if we call ourselves a multiparty democracy and we claim our elections are not coronations.

No matter how ugly they may be you cannot run a democracy without opposition.

He was made substantive National Chairman for two reasons:

A. One, incase it goes South, it's Damagum IN & OUT.

B. Some of the decisions can only be taken when you have a substantive National Chairman.

.. earlier this year when PDP took their issue to supreme court...the supreme court said that courts have no jurisdiction over political party internal affairs and matters.. that it's the party that should decide and settle their matters and internal affairs..so supreme court judgement is final no other courts can challenge it
Re: #IbadanConvention: PDP elects Turaki as new National Chairman, others by BondRiv: 10:00am On Nov 16, 2025
I doubt if our courts will uphold this joke of a convention. PDP is always in a hurry to self-destruct. They had no need to do this, but rather reconcile the party. Someone like Bode George who is feeding fat from the party, but has no electoral value is always the empty drum that makes the loudest noise. We shall see their performance in the election.

The Lamido case is simple.
He outlined that he has interests to contest for the Office of PDP National Chairman and alleges that the form was deliberately not sold to him. Like I have said many times, that is a Pre-election suit that is non-justicable.

Our Supreme Court has said it many times that political parties are voluntary organisations and it is outside of the Court's Jurisdiction to dabble into that. Been within the reach of the domestic affairs of a Political Party, the court is bereft of jurisdiction.

Justice Lifu knew what he was doing when he made that order, all they wanted was to ensure the National Convention did not hold. Every other thing becomes academic. The worst for them was for it not to hold. Now I hear people talk about INEC not attending hence it's nullity and I laugh.

Did INEC supervise the Primaries of Akpabio?
Did INEC supervise the Primaries that affirmed Ahmad Lawan.


INEC decided to stay away citing Court Order. It is well within their rights. In each of the two judgements above, the Supreme Court was clear that it was the responsibility of the Party to inform INEC, whether INEC attends or not, it's their business, they must be informed, which they affirmed they were informed about it.

Section 82(1) of the Electoral Act 2022:
Every registered political party shall give the Commission at least 21 days’ notice of any convention, congress, conference or meeting convened for the purpose of “merger” and electing members of its executive committees, other governing bodies or nominating candidates for any of the elective offices specified under this Act.

Section 82(5) of the Electoral Act 2022:
Failure of a political party to notify the Commission as stated in subsection (1) shall render the convention, congress, conference or meeting invalid.

Hence, non-attendance does not connote a nullity, it is not notifying that does.

I will come to the Omotosho issue on another thread.
To the best of my knowledge, NO.

The person I was replying was saying appointing a Caretaker Committee will have been better and I am saying, even in the appointment of the Caretaker, only a Convention will have affirmed it, meaning the Convention will eventually have held between now and December 6 this year.
Next chapter of PDP loading, great news that Makinde was able to wrestle the party away from those wild dogs.
You doing a great job educating us on the legal framework of the party.

For how long will you continue to move from thread to thread wailing about PDP. Allow them to die if they want to do so, face your APC.

However, if you need rope, I still do free delivery nationwide.

But what if the official person with the authority to inform INEC on behalf of the party about the purported convention said he wasn’t the one that issued the notice?

They are running into a fight without looking up. They keep creating platforms that becomes useful tool for PBAT to use to his advantage and then they turn to blame him.
They are playing into the hands of the one who has held the party for so long far, putting State resources he would have kept to himself like his colleagues who were one governors did, and sweating it out.
Well, it's now a pointer that the PDP may not have any candidate or aspirant in the forth coming elections to present if these fellows don't withdraw their steps.
Also it could also be a strategy in itself to finally make the PDP comatose in certain States.
