The Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has decisively declared that the party has entered its “New Era of Unity”.
In a move designed to consolidate and reinvigorate the party base, the Board of Trustees-the party’s conscience, resolved that the period of internal discord is over.
Speaking at the meeting, the BOT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara emphasized the urgency of the moment and charged other party members and supporters to work with the new NWC to ensure unity and stability.
“First, let me congratulate the PDP for the successful conduct of the National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State. The Convention is a clear demonstration of our Party’s enduring commitment to internal democracy and transparency”
Senator Wabara, on behalf of the Board of Trustees (BoT), declared their unalloyed support for the Kabiru Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC).
He said “We declare our full support for the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee. From the early days of their tenure, it appears that our party is being repositioned, structures are being strengthened, and confidence is being restored across the federation.
“These are giant strides that give hope not just to Party members, but to millions of Nigerians who look to the PDP as a credible alternative to the current state of affairs”
However, as the party celebrates the successes gained by the newly elected NWC, the BOT calls for unity and reconciliation, saying “…as we celebrate progress, we must also embrace unity. This is the moment that calls for reconciliation and healing”. Senator Wabara declared.
In his reaction, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, on behalf of the newly elected National Working Committee (NWC), thanked the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and other members of the Board for their support, and for participating in the November 15, 16, 2025 National Convention of the Party in Ibadan, Oyo State.
“We have had a lot of ups and downs. We fought ourselves and we fought each other. Other people fought us from within and from without. Now, it is time for peace. And one of the cardinal principles that we intend to pursue in our leadership is the issue of reconciliation”- Turaki declared.
The PDP leader urged all members, support groups, and stakeholders to embrace this new directive and work collaboratively toward the stability and progress of the party.
“We believe that there is no dispute, no disagreement, and no misunderstanding, that is irreconcilable, provided there is a common objective and common will”. he stated.
The meeting was attended by prominent members of the Party who are members of the BOT, including the former Minister of Information, Professor Jerry Gana, former Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Muhammed Makarfi, former Governor of Enugu State, Dr Okwesilieze Nwodo, among others.
