National Publicity Secretary of the caretaker committee, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, said the recognition follows the recent ruling of the Federal High Court in Ibadan and reflects INEC’s commitment to the rule of law and internal party democracy.

He added that the move has removed uncertainties that could have undermined the party’s organizational structure and electoral preparedness ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Mohammed stated that the PDP can now confidently field candidates and maintain its role as a strong opposition party in the country.

The statement read:
*”The recent decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) represents a decisive and commendable step toward restoring stability, order, and constitutional governance within our great party.

“This recognition comes at a critical juncture, particularly as preparations begin for the party’s National Convention and the strategic task of positioning credible candidates for the 2027 elections.

“By affirming a lawful leadership structure following the Federal High Court judgment, INEC has removed uncertainties that could have hindered the party’s organizational processes and electoral readiness.

“The National Caretaker Working Committee commends INEC for its steadfast commitment to due process and the rule of law. Such institutional courage strengthens Nigeria’s democracy and reassures party members and supporters that legality—not arbitrariness—guides electoral matters.

“This development should serve as a unifying rallying point for all party faithful. It is time to set aside differences, embrace reconciliation, and focus collective efforts on strengthening the PDP ahead of the 2027 elections.

“Nigerians look to our party for responsible leadership and a credible alternative. We must not allow internal disputes to distract us from this historic responsibility.

“We therefore urge stakeholders at all levels to support the recognized leadership of Abdulrahman Mohammed as it works to organize a successful convention, restore cohesion, and lay the groundwork for the emergence of competent candidates who will carry the PDP banner to victory in the next electoral cycle.”*
