The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has intensified preparations for its 2025 National Elective Convention scheduled for November 15 and 16 at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan, Oyo State.
In a statement posted on its official X handle on Thursday, the party described the convention, tagged #Ibadan2025, as a historic event aimed at driving internal renewal and strengthening its readiness ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to the statement, more than 3,000 delegates from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory are expected to participate, along with party leaders, stakeholders, international observers, and members of the diplomatic community.
The convention will feature the election of key national officers, including a new National Chairman, and reaffirm the PDP’s commitment to unity, discipline, and democratic values.
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, who is hosting the event, has reportedly led multiple venue inspections and logistical assessments to ensure a seamless convention. The party noted that the Lekan Salami Stadium is undergoing rapid transformation into “a hub for democratic renewal.”
The statement added that final preparations are being supervised by the Oyo State Deputy Governor, Barr. Bayo Lawal, who chairs the Venue Sub-Committee of the National Convention Organising Committee, NCOC. These include seating arrangements, stage construction, lighting, and audio-visual setups.
“Final preparations in full swing, stage setting, others at Lekan Salami Stadium for PDP’s landmark #Ibadan2025 Convention.
With just two days until the Peoples Democratic Party kicks off its transformative 2025 National Elective Convention on November 15–16, work is ramping up at the venue,” the statement read.
