The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been thrown into a state of confusion following the sudden suspension of screening for aspirants vying for positions in its upcoming 2025 Elective National Convention.
The party’s decision, announced late Monday, cited “unforeseen circumstances” but provided no further details. The move has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the convention’s timeline and exposed deep-seated internal disagreements.
The crisis intensified when former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, publicly accused party governors of excluding him from the race for national chairman. Lamido has threatened legal action if the issue is not resolved, further complicating the party’s efforts to present a united front.
This development raises serious questions about the PDP’s stability as it prepares to position itself for future elections. Party officials have yet to announce a new date for the screening process.
