The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appointed Senator Ben Ndi Obi as the new Secretary of its National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC) following the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to the party, the appointment was approved by the National Working Committee (NWC) on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC) as part of efforts to ensure a seamless organisation of the PDP’s 2025 Elective National Convention. The convention is scheduled to take place from Saturday, 15th to Sunday, 16th November 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
In a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, who also serves as Secretary of the Publicity and Communication Sub-committee of the NCOC, the party said the decision was taken to strengthen internal harmony and unity ahead of the major national event.
“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC), has approved the appointment of Senator Ben Ndi Obi as Secretary of the National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC) for the conduct of the 2025 PDP Elective National Convention scheduled to hold on Saturday, 15th to Sunday, 16th November 2025 in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
“The NWC commends the NCOC under the chairmanship of His Excellency, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State, for its tireless efforts towards the success of the 2025 National Convention,” Ologunagba said.
The PDP leadership also appealed to party members, leaders, and stakeholders across the nation to remain steadfast and united as preparations for the convention intensify. It said the gathering would be crucial in defining the direction of the opposition party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The NWC calls on all leaders, critical stakeholders and teeming members of the PDP to remain united, steadfast and focused on the successful conduct of the National Convention and the overall progress of our great party,” the statement added.
Governor Peter Mbah previously served as Secretary of the PDP National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC) before defecting to the ruling APC.
