Governors elected on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are reportedly currently in closed-door meeting at the Government HouseGusau, the Zamfara State capital.
Although the detailed agenda of the meeting has not been disclosed, the meeting is widely expected to address pressing national issues, the party’s internal strategy, and preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Discussions are also anticipated to focus on the forthcoming PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) convention, scheduled to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025.
The meeting comes at a time of heightened political activity across Nigeria, with major parties positioning themselves ahead of the next electoral cycle.

Its resolutions often influence decisions taken at the national level, particularly in times of internal crisis.
As the closed-door session continues, Nigerians and party faithful alike await details of the communique expected at the end of the meeting.
