“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has approved the postponement of the State Congress for the purpose of electing new State Executive Committee of our Party in Plateau and Cross River States.

“Consequently, the State Congress in the two States earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday, September 27th, 2025, has been postponed to a new date which will be communicated in due course.

“The NWC urges all leaders, critical stakeholders, teeming members of the PDP, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the media, security agencies, and the general public to note the postponement and be guided accordingly,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, the Rivers State chapter of the PDP has dismissed reports suggesting that Governor Siminalayi Fubara may defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
