Sources indicate that the meeting is related to the ongoing zoning dispute ahead of the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) session, which is set for Monday in Abuja, even though the agenda has not been formally released.
The zoning of leadership positions in advance of the election convention scheduled for November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan, is a significant item on the NEC’s agenda.
The PDP governors see the Zamfara meeting as a calculated move to align their positions ahead of Monday’s NEC meeting.
It is anticipated that the zoning decision will have a significant impact on the party’s unity and chances in the general elections in 2027.
The PDP is currently fighting internal strife, hence the outcome of these sessions is crucial to the party’s continued existence. Although the specifics of the Zamfara negotiations are still unknown, it is anticipated that the governors would also discuss other urgent matters that have an impact on the party’s electoral power and stability.
The focus now shifts to how the PDP leadership would handle these decisions and set up the party for the upcoming election cycle as the NEC draws near.
