B.O.T/ WABARA : RE: ASSUMPTION OF NATIONAL LEADERSHIP OF THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP) BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (BoT)


Press Release

Assumption of National Leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by the Board of Trustees (BoT).


It is with the utmost sense of duty and responsibility that the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) assumes leadership of our great party today, Thursday, 30th April, 2026 pursuant to the empowering provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (As amended in 2017).

Senator Adolphus Nwabara


This constitutional intervention of the BoT is so as not to allow any leadership vacuum at the National level of our party following judgment of the Supreme Court.

Sequent to the Supreme Court judgment against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in which it pronounced an invalidation of the 15th to 16th November 2025 National Convention of the PDP held in Ibadan, Oyo State, which produced the Kabiru Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee of the Party, it also in a unanimous decision of the five justices on the panel, upheld the suspension of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Hon. Umar Bature, Kamaldeen Ajibade as National Secretary, National Organizing Secretary and National Legal Adviser respectively from the Party. 


In event, the Supreme Court judgement is that all actions taken by Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Hon. Umar Bature and Barr. Kamaldeen Ajibade including the appointment of Abdulrahman Mohammed as Acting National Chairman, the composition of the National Caretaker Working Committee and the conduct and outcome of the March 29th, 2026 Convention in Abuja are illegal, null and ab initio void. 

The consequential invalidation of both the Abdulrahman Mohammed-led as well as the Kabiru Tanimu Turaki-led Working Committees directly places the statutory onus of leadership of the Pdp on the shoulders of the Board of Trustees (BoT) as the Second Highest Organ of the Party, pursuant to the express and unambiguous provision of Section 32 (5) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).

In the light of the foregoing an emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC), pursuant to the provisions of Section 31 of the Constitution of the PDP will be summoned to, among other things, appoint an Interim National Working Committee to take charge of the National Secretariat of the Party and pilot the affairs of the Party at the National level so as to meet all the timeline in the Electoral Act, 2026 and ensure that the PDP fields candidates and also emerged victorious in all elective positions in the 2027 general elections.


Consequently, Senator Adolphus Nwabara the BOT Chairman voiced out calling for all hands to be on deck amongst the two fractions.

Commending the courage, effort and resilience of the Party governors, Governor Bala Mohammed and Governor Seyi Makinde, the National Assembly caucus, the National Ex-officios, the Forum of PDP State Chairmen and State chapters, the Youth and Women Wings and other organs and bodies in the PDP for standing strong for the party at this trying time. to come together all staff of the PDP are hereby directed to resume at the National Secretariat of the Party under the leadership of the BoT ahead of the appointment of the Interim National Working Committee.

 Engr. Adedeji Doherty                                           Southwest PDP Vice Chairman


This obviously did not go down well with most PDP Party Chieftains. An exclusive interview with the Southwest PDP Vice Chairman, Engr. Adedeji Doherty in his office with our connect Television correspondent brought a lot of questions to the burner as he vets his anger at the BoT Chairman and his rhetorics...

" You cannot be part and parcel of a failed Supreme Court case, you lot and wish to remain as the conscience of our party..........     Please note that you seized to be the conscience of our party the day you joined a group of aggrieved members in taking our party to Court"

Dr Mao Arukwu Ohuabunwa                    


He reaffirmed that, Dr Mao Arukwu Ohuabunwa is the authentic BOT Chairman and not Sen. Adolphus Nwabara.                       Character and Integrity are the conditions required to be a BOT Member/ Chairman which he stated were far fetched in a personality like Sen. Adolphus Nwabara.       

He concluded that, trying to win a case lost at a constitutionally backed court of law through the back door, is not just Rascally but Criminal

"Our Constitution is Clear" he stated....
