PDP BoT disowns own reconciliation committee report, rejects caretaker committee.

The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has disowned the report of the Reconciliation Committee it set up to find a lasting solution to the crisis facing the party

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. 

According to him, the report of the six-man committee headed by Amb. Hassan Adamu has not been discussed and adopted by the Board and cannot be taken as the official position of the BoT. 

The statement reads: “The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) hereby categorically dissociates and distances itself from the purported Report of the BoT Reconciliation Committee being circulated in some section of the media.

“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, 15th to Sunday, 16th November, 2025 in Ibadan, Oyo State capital for the purpose of electing 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.

“In that regard, the BoT rejects any suggestion for a Caretaker Committee for the party. Such idea cannot be contemplated as the Board and, of course the PDP, have irreversibly decided for an elective National Convention which is within the scope of the internal affairs of the party to which the courts have no jurisdiction.

“The BoT therefore urges Party members to remain committed and focused on the success of the Elective National Convention”.
