The Peoples Democratic Party says the conduct of its national convention on Saturday in Ibadan is sacrosanct.

The chairman of the 2025 National Convention Organising Committee and Adamawa governor, Umar Fintiri, stated this while addressing journalists after the party’s stakeholders meeting in Abuja.

The stakeholders who attended the meeting included members of the PDP Governors’ Forum, the National Working Committee, and the board of trustees, among others.

“We’ve just come out of our critical stakeholders meeting, where a lot of elaborate decisions were taken. I want to tell you here that we are going to Ibadan for our convention, and the convention is sacrosanct,” Mr Fintiri said.

The meeting took place at the Bauchi Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja.

Some of the stakeholders present at the meeting were Governors Bala Mohammed and Seyi Makinde, PDP national chairman Umar Damagum, national publicity secretary Debo Ologunagba, and former Senate president Bukola Saraki.

Others are former Minister Tanimu Turaki, who is the consensus candidate for the position of national chairman at the convention.

Also in attendance at the meeting were Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, and the chairman of the PDP South-South Caretaker Committee, Emmanuel Ogidi, among others.
