PDP Inaugurates 45-Member Zoning Committee Ahead of 2025 National Convention

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday inaugurated its 45-member National Elective Convention Zoning Committee at the party’s national headquarters, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.

The committee is chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, with Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, serving as vice chairman, and Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, as secretary.


Speaking during the inauguration, Acting PDP National Chairman, Amb. Umar Damagum, described the committee’s task as pivotal to repositioning the party for greater strength ahead of its November 2025 convention. He urged members to act swiftly, deploying “wisdom, magnanimity and experience” to produce a robust zoning formula for a successful gathering.

Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, commended the composition of the committee, expressing confidence in its capacity and pedigree. He reaffirmed the governors’ full support for the National Working Committee in its bid to “rescue Nigerians from bad governance.”

“Our party has survived many booby-traps and remains a credible alternative for Nigerians,” Bala said. “The PDP’s years in power left lasting democratic legacies, and our recent setbacks will only make us better.”

Responding on behalf of the committee, Governor Diri pledged to consult widely, engage stakeholders, and ensure fairness and inclusivity in arriving at decisions. “We will be consultative, inclusive, and just. Thank you for trusting us with this assignment,” he said.
