COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF THE STATE CONGRESS OF THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP), BORNO STATE CHAPTER, HELD IN MAIDUGURI
DATE: March 14, 2026

1. PREAMBLE: THE EVOLUTION OF A REVOLUTION
The Borno State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wishes to inform the general public and our teeming supporters of the successful and peaceful conclusion of our State Congress. This historic event was the glorious climax of a transparent and democratic process that began at the Ward Congresses and progressed through the Local Government Congresses. This was not merely an election of officers; it was the birth of a new movement. We have successfully transitioned from the grassroots to the state level, ensuring that the mandate of the Common Man in Borno is finally reflected in the leadership of the party.

2. ON THE BURIAL OF THE OLD GUARD AND THE YOUTH TAKEOVER
The Congress acknowledges the period of stagnation and political slumber that previously plagued our great party. We state categorically that the era of Bad Leadership, which caused our people to lose confidence and led to the frustration of our members has been formally buried. Today, a New Generation of Youths has taken over the mantle of leadership. This is a deliberate shift to inject fresh blood, intellectual vigor, and undiluted loyalty into the party’s machinery. The PDP in Borno is no longer a retirement home for recycled politicians; it is now a vibrant engine driven by the energy of the youth.

3. THE TRUTH ABOUT DEFECTIONS: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
To those who were misled by the propaganda of our detractors: The PDP is not shrinking. The reality behind the defections witnessed in the past was a direct result of the toxic atmosphere created by the previous self-centered leadership. Our brothers and sisters did not leave because they hated the PDP; they left because they were suffocated by a lack of internal democracy. To all former members: The Umbrella is now mended. The doors are wide open for your return to the only party that truly understands the Borno heritage.

4. A STERN WARNING TO THE APC AND THE DISMISSAL OF THE ADC
Let the ruling APC in Borno State begin to pack its bags. The 2027 project has officially commenced today. The people of Borno are tired of the cosmetic projects and the systemic failure of the APC. We are coming to reclaim our state and restore the lost glory of our people. Furthermore, we dismiss the political noise coming from the ADC (African Democratic Congress). Let it be known that the ADC is a mere political orphanage for those who cannot stand the heat of the moment. They lack the structure, the history, and the capacity to compete.

5. FINAL DECLARATION: A CALL TO COLLECTIVE ACTION
We thank the security agencies and the observers for witnessing this rebirth. To the people of Borno, your hope is restored. The PDP is rebranded, the Youths are in charge, and 2027 is our date with destiny. We call on every citizen to join this movement for a better Borno.

LONG LIVE THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
LONG LIVE BORNO STATE!
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Signed:
Hon. Umar Faruk
Publicity Secretary,
PDP Borno State Chapter.

PUBLIC NOTICE

We have taken note of messages and materials being circulated by one Mohammed Gassol, who claims to be the Assistant Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Borno State Chapter .

For clarity, Mohammed Gassol is not recognized within the State Caretaker Working Committee that currently oversees PDP affairs in Borno State.

In particular, a letter of suspension being circulated by him has no standing within the state caretaker working committee , as it did not emanate from any duly convened meeting or authorized communication channel known to us.

At this point, it is important to remind party members and the public that the former State Working Committee was dissolved by the National Caretaker Working Committee, and any titles, actions, or communications issued outside the caretaker arrangement should be treated with caution and verified appropriately.

This matter relates strictly to internal processes and organizational structure. Party members are advised to be committed to order, internal discipline, and the rebuilding of the PDP in Borno State

Therefore, we urge all stakeholders to rely on communications issued through the recognized caretaker framework.

Publicity Secretary,

BORNO PDP NEW MEDIA | PRESS UPDATE

23 December 2025

CLARIFICATION ON MISLEADING CLAIMS AND UPDATE ON PDP LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE IN BORNO STATE

The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Borno State has been drawn to a series of misleading claims and statements circulating in the public space concerning Dr. Grema Kyari, a member of the PDP National Caretaker Committee and a key stakeholder in the party’s activities during the 2023 general elections.

The PDP in Borno State wishes to clarify that Dr. Grema Kyari remains a duly appointed member of the PDP National Caretaker Committee and played an active and supportive role in coordinating and sustaining the party’s 27 House of Assembly candidates before, during, and after the 2023 elections. Claims suggesting otherwise do not reflect the records available to the party.

A recent statement attributed to Mr. Amos Adziba, who is associated with the dissolved Gadama-led group, contains assertions that are not recognized within the current administrative framework of the party. It is important to note that Mr. Adziba does not speak on behalf of the PDP under the present caretaker arrangement.

For public clarity, the National Caretaker Committee of the PDP (NCC-PDP) recently dissolved the previous state structure, following internal reviews and consultations. In line with this decision, a new Borno State Caretaker Committee was constituted, with Comrade Musa Jibrin appointed as Chairman.

This caretaker committee operates within the framework recognized by the PDP’s national leadership, including relevant statutory organs of the party, and is tasked with stabilizing party affairs, strengthening internal cohesion, and repositioning the party ahead of future engagements.

The PDP in Borno State urges party members, supporters, and the media to exercise caution, verify information through recognized caretaker channels, and disregard communications that do not emanate from the current caretaker structure.

The party remains committed to rebuilding, reconciliation, and institutional discipline, as it continues preparations for future electoral opportunities in Borno State.

PUBLIC NOTICE

It has become necessary to draw the attention of party members, stakeholders, and the general public to the activities of some individuals parading themselves as the State Working Committee of the party, despite the fact that the said structure was dissolved by the National Caretaker Working Committee.

For clarity, following the dissolution, all administrative and organizational responsibilities at the state level were vested in the State Caretaker Working Committee, pending further directives from the appropriate organs of the party. Any other structure operating outside this framework lacks recognition within that arrangement.

Members of the public are therefore advised to exercise caution and restraint and should not accord legitimacy to letters, notices, or directives being circulated in the name of the party without proper authorization from the recognized caretaker structure.

At a time when the Borno State PDP is focused on stabilization, reconciliation, and rebuilding, actions capable of creating confusion or misrepresenting party positions do not serve the collective interest of members and supporters.

All official communications, decisions, and clarifications relating to party affairs should be verified through recognized and established channels associated with the caretaker structure currently overseeing party activities at the state level.

This clarification is issued in the interest of transparency, order, and internal discipline.

Signed,

Faruk Umar:
Publicity Secretary

Rebuilding PDP: All Hands Already on Deck

- BOD ORIADE

Yesterday, only hours after the previous day inauguration of the PDP National Caretaker Committee (PDPNCC), members swung into action with deep patriotism and renewed vigour; planning, organizing, and mobilizing to rescue the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) within the stipulated 60 days.

Those sworn in, empowered by the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC), had opted to do the needful. Instead of clinging to office beyond their mandate or hiding behind questionable technicalities of status quo, they chose what is lawful and honourable. Section 47(1) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017), paraphrasing, clearly states that officers of the party shall hold office for a first term of four years and qualify for another term.

Then, it is evident that the leadership of Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed and Senator Samuel Anyanwu is guided by the rule of law, and rejects impunity.

It was on this same premise that the NEC acted on Sunday, December 7, 2025, and inaugurated the new National Caretaker Committee (NCC). The Committee is charged with a clear mandate: immediately conclude pending congresses and hold a national convention to produce a new National Executive Committee (NEC). This assignment is already in motion.

Also, on July 12, 2017, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, under 3-man panel led by Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour declared Senator Ahmed Makarfi led Caretaker Committee legal. Therefore, the culture of having a Caretaker is not alien to PDP.

At present, Lagos, Ekiti, Ebonyi, Delta, Bayelsa, Oyo, Enugu, and Anambra States, among others, are under Caretaker arrangements. The PDPNCC is now preparing to conduct congresses across affected states to ensure substantive party structures.

The atmosphere is active and purposeful. Forms and electoral materials are being prepared; PDP statewide organs are being awakened. The goal is to correct the impunity witnessed in the Ibadan convention and demonstrate to Nigeria how a national convention should be legitimately conducted. There will be no fraud. The entire process will be well monitored and transparently reported.

Just yesterday, regarding the Ibadan convention debacle, the court graciously delisted INEC from the matter. By implication, dragging INEC in contempt is needless. INEC must obey orders of the Federal High Court; not out of discretion, but as a matter of law and order.

This renewed tempo reflects the administrative capability and unifying leadership of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who continues to reassure Nigerians that the PDP remains home for all. True to the political temperament of Dee Sam Mbakwe, he embodies “politics without bitterness.” To Anyanwu, politics is about the people. Little wonder why the people are at home with the People’s Senator.

With Capt. Umar Bature providing experienced coordination, mobilization is ongoing with due regard to procedure, while the party fosters peace, unity, and justice. In the same vein, Barr. Kamaldeen Ajibade brings legal expertise to forestall landmines as PDP moves forward.

We call on members across states with upcoming congresses to position themselves accordingly. This is another opportunity - seize it. PDP is building new structures in these states and beyond. We call upon elders, women, youth, and grassroots stakeholders to rise to the challenge. Together, we will rescue the PDP.

There is no doubt, the Mohammed/Anyanwu leadership has come to restore the true essence of politics: politics of value, politics of participation. With the growing support base, the PDP will reclaim its footing.

We extend special appreciation to Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), and others who have placed party interest above material gains. With renewed determination and collective effort, PDP will bounce back. We do not need governors to win elections; we need the people.

Let us unite, strengthen the PDP, and rebuild for victory ahea

This committee has been given a crucial assignment by the National leadership of our great party. We must rise above individual interests, work in unity, and rebuild the PDP in Borno State through sincerity, transparency, and loyalty to party ideals,” Hon. Abbas Musa stated.
