2027: PDP Governors In Closed-Door Meeting

Nigerian State Governors elected on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are reportedly holding a closed-door meeting at the Government House in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.

Although the detailed agenda of the meeting has not been disclosed, the meeting is widely expected to address pressing national issues, the party’s internal strategy, and preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections. 

Discussions are also anticipated to focus on the forthcoming PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) convention, scheduled to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025.

The meeting comes at a time of heightened political activity across Nigeria, with major parties positioning themselves ahead of the next electoral cycle.

For the PDP, which lost the presidency since 2015 to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), internal cohesion has been a recurring challenge. 

The planned NEC convention in November is expected to play a significant role in addressing factional divisions and setting the tone for the party’s campaign machinery.

Analysts say the choice of Zamfara for the gathering is also symbolic, as the PDP currently controls only a handful of northwestern states. 

Strengthening the party’s presence in the region is seen as key to regaining national influence.

The PDP Governors’ Forum, which serves as a coordinating body for all PDP governors, has traditionally played a major role in shaping party direction and policy. ,

Its resolutions often influence decisions taken at the national level, particularly in times of internal crisis.

As the closed-door session continues, Nigerians and party faithful alike await details of the communique expected at the end of the meeting.
