Ben Obi replaces Gov. Mbah as PDP convention committee secretary

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appointed Ben Obi as the secretary, National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC) for the party’s 2025 elective national convention.
The NWC disclosed this in a statement issued by Debo Ologunagba, PDP national publicity secretary and secretary, publicity and communication sub-committee NCOC on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Obi replaced Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu State, who, on Tuesday, formally defected from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr Ologunagba said that the NWC commended the NCOC under the chairmanship of Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa for its tireless efforts toward the success of the 2025 national convention.
He called on all leaders, critical stakeholders and teeming members of the PDP to remain united, steadfast and focused on the successful conduct of the national convention and the overall progress of the party.
