The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is scheduled to hold a meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, following the fallout from a court ruling that nullified the party’s 2025 national convention.
The meeting follows a decision by the Court of Appeal which upheld an earlier judgment invalidating the PDP’s National Convention held in Ibadan on November 15 and 16, 2025. The ruling has triggered fresh consultations within the party’s leadership as it navigates the implications of the court’s decision on its internal structure and governance.
A notice signed by the BoT Chairman, Mao Ohuabunwa, stated that the meeting will begin at 2:00 pm at 1 Sabo Ago Street, LifeCamp, Abuja.
“This serves to formally invite all members of the Board of Trustees of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party, to a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 2 pm. Venue is 1, Sabo Ago Street, LifeCamp, Abuja,” the notice read.
Ohuabunwa explained that the meeting was convened by the BoT and recognised by the party’s current caretaker leadership.
“Note that this is the only BoT recognised as constituted by the Abdulrahman/Anyanwu-led National Caretaker Working Committee pursuant to the Federal High Court decision and ratified by the Court of Appeal in Abuja,” he said.
He cautioned members against responding to any other invitations, emphasising that the meeting being convened is the officially recognised gathering of the board.
“Kindly ignore any other notice purporting to call for a meeting of the BoT,” the notice added.
The BoT chairman also stressed that attendance would be limited strictly to members who were properly notified, advising individuals who are not members of the board to stay away from the meeting venue.
The PDP’s Board of Trustees serves as the conscience of the party and plays a key advisory role in resolving internal disputes and guiding strategic decisions. The upcoming meeting is expected to deliberate on the implications of the appellate court’s ruling and possible steps for restoring stability within the party’s leadership structure following the nullification of the Ibadan convention.
