The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is set to inaugurate new members of its Board of Trustees (BoT) today, Monday, at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
This development was announced in a circular signed by PDP’s Director of Publicity, Chinwe Nnorom, on May 11, 2025.
The inauguration marks a significant event for the party as it welcomes new members to its esteemed advisory body.
The statement read, “With reference to the subject above, please be informed that the PDP Board of Trustees has scheduled the inauguration of its new members.
“The event is set to take place on Monday, May 12, 2025, at the NEC Hall (Ground Floor), PDP National Headquarters.”
The ceremony, scheduled for 11 a.m. at the NEC Hall, Wadata Plaza, comes as the party attempts to revitalize its top advisory body.
Reports indicate that a significant number of BoT members, 85 out of 127, had become inactive, prompting the party to introduce fresh faces to the board.
The new members are expected to bring renewed energy and help address the party’s internal challenges.
According to the PDP Constitution (2017 as amended), the BoT serves as the party’s conscience, responsible for upholding party values, advising on policies, resolving disputes, and protecting the party’s image and assets.
The board comprises esteemed individuals, including former Presidents, Vice Presidents, Senate Presidents, Speakers, past and serving National Chairmen, founding members, and top party leaders from every state and region.
In a related development, PDP governors and major stakeholders gathered in Abuja on Sunday at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge to discuss the party’s internal issues and chart a direction ahead of the upcoming NEC meeting and National Elective Convention.
The meeting, led by Bauchi State Governor and PDP Governors’ Forum Chairman, Bala Mohammed, included prominent governors such as Ademola Adeleke (Osun), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Peter Mbah (Enugu), and Dauda Lawal (Zamfara).
Other key figures present at the meeting included Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, BoT Secretary Ahmed Makarfi, and several former governors like Bukola Saraki, Aminu Tambuwal, Sule Lamido, Udom Emmanuel, Samuel Ortom, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Seriake Dickson, Babangida Muazu, and Adamu Muazu. The high-level meeting aims to unite the party’s top figures, resolve leadership disputes, and prepare for future elections, following earlier talks in Ibadan.
