The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has postponed its much-anticipated 103rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting earlier scheduled for Wednesday, October 15, 2025, citing recent developments within the party.
In a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) confirmed that the meeting was put on hold in line with Section 29 (2)(b) of the PDP Constitution. Members were urged to take note of the postponement and await a new date that will be announced soon.

The postponement comes amid growing defections that have shaken the party’s internal structure. Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, is reportedly set to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, with at least two other PDP governors said to be considering the same move.
Adding to the turbulence, Sadiq Abdullahi, who represents Sabon Gari Federal Constituency in Kaduna State, resigned from the party on Monday, blaming his exit on “deepening internal conflicts” and what he described as the PDP’s “loss of direction.”
The party is also facing internal tension involving its National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who is believed to be aligned with Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, a figure known for his influential but controversial role within the party.

The PDP leadership assured members that a new date for the NEC meeting will soon be communicated, stressing that the delay was necessary to ensure stability and inclusivity in decision-making.
Political observers say the latest postponement underscores the deep cracks within the main opposition party as it struggles to rebuild ahead of future elections.
