The National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has postponed screening of aspirants for its 2025 elective convention, earlier scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 28 indefinitely.
The NCOC Chairman, Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, in statement on Monday in Abuja, said that the postponement was due to unforeseen circumstances.
Fintiri noted that a new date would be communicated once fixed.
“The NCOC regrets any inconveniences caused by the postponement. All aspirants and members of our party should note the foregoing and be guided accordingly.
“The NCOC remains committed to delivering a credible, hitch-free 2025 Elective National Convention on Saturday, Nov. 15 to Sunday Nov. 16 in Ibadan, the Oyo capital,” the statement read.
He further reaffirmed the committee’s commitment to ensuring a transparent, credible, and seamless national convention.
The PDP’s 2025 Elective National Convention was earlier scheduled for November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
On October 25, 2025, the PDP had announced a 13-member National Convention Screening Committee responsible for vetting aspirants for various national positions ahead of the convention.
The committee, chaired by former Ondo State governorship candidate and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, was scheduled to conduct the screening on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
The postponement was announced shortly after former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, declared his intention to run for the office of the national chairman.
