Kayode Ogunbiyi Appointed Acting Chairman of Lagos PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appointed Kayode Ogunbiyi as the acting chairman for Lagos State. This decision was made by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) due to the ill health of the current chairman, Muka Popoola.

The announcement was made in a letter dated November 3, 2026, and signed by Alhaji Umar Bature, the National Organising Secretary. The letter stated that Ogunbiyi’s role as acting chairman takes effect immediately.

Bature’s letter explained that Ogunbiyi will manage the party’s activities in Lagos until a congress can be held to elect a new permanent chairman. He also congratulated Ogunbiyi on taking on this new responsibility.

This change comes as the party prepares for future leadership decisions while addressing the current health issues affecting Popoola.
