Abdulrahman Mohammed, on Monday, March 23, 2026, addressed members at the party’s 107th National Executive Committee meeting, calling for unity and preparation ahead of the upcoming national convention.
The meeting brought together party leaders, elders, stakeholders, and members of the National Executive Committee at a time the party is preparing for its convention scheduled for March 29 and 30, 2026. Mohammed said the gathering came at a critical stage in the party’s activities, following the completion of state and zonal congresses across the country.
He explained that the congresses were conducted in an orderly manner and reflected the party’s internal democratic process. He commended party officials, aspirants, and members for their roles in ensuring the exercises were successful.
Those who emerged from the congresses were reminded of their responsibility to serve the party and work towards unity and progress.
The chairman urged members to remain united despite differences that may have arisen during the contests. He described the party as one body with a shared goal of building a better Nigeria and advised leaders and members to maintain peace and cooperation moving forward.
Speaking on the forthcoming national convention, Mohammed noted that the event would shape the direction of the party in the coming years.
He praised the planning committee for its work so far and encouraged them to continue their efforts to ensure a smooth and successful exercise. He also acknowledged the role of party leaders across the country in supporting preparations for the convention.
He further recognised the contributions of key figures within the party, including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, whose involvement, he said, has helped maintain stability within the party during challenging times.
The chairman also addressed recent internal issues, noting that the party had faced legal and political challenges but had made progress through dialogue and adherence to due process. He said efforts were ongoing to strengthen unity and rebuild trust among members, adding that reconciliation remained open to all sides.
As the convention draws closer, Mohammed called on all stakeholders to put the party’s interest first and conduct themselves in a disciplined and transparent manner. He noted that the party remains a strong political force in Nigeria and has the structure and support needed to compete effectively in future elections.
He concluded by urging members to use the NEC meeting as an opportunity to consult, unite, and prepare for the tasks ahead, expressing confidence that the party would emerge stronger and more united.
