The announcement comes at a turbulent time for the PDP, which has been battling a fresh wave of defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). In recent weeks, several key figures, including sitting governors and lawmakers, have abandoned the party, raising concerns about its internal unity and future prospects.

Party insiders revealed that the leadership is under intense pressure to contain the crisis and prevent further exits before its national convention scheduled for November 15–16 in Ibadan, Oyo State. The convention is expected to produce new national officers and chart a new direction for the opposition party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The indefinite suspension of the NEC meeting has fueled speculation about deepening divisions within the PDP, as some factions push for major structural reforms while others call for reconciliation with defected members.

With the convention just weeks away, the party now faces a delicate balancing act between managing internal discontent and rebuilding its political base across the country.
