Following the successful conduct of Ward and LGA Congresses, the PDP in Lagos State is set to hold its Elective State Congress on Saturday at the Tarawa Balewa Square.

Controversy over Chairman since the defection of Hon. Moshood Salvador to the APC and the selection of Engr. Deji Doherty to take over from him which was subsequently nullified by the court in favour of Dr. Adegbola Dominic.

We are certain that the best persons for the offices will emerge to move the Party forward in preparation for 2023

“I am using this opportunity to wish all contestants the best of luck in Lagos and other states”. He also advised all contestants to remember that PDP is one big family with a huge task ahead.
