Chief Francis Bullem has moved to bring the entire Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State under one command, by subsuming all candidates’ campaign structures into the party structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The decision was contained in a communique issued at the end of the 40th State Working Committee (SWC) meeting and signed by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Prince Mike Ojisi.
The meeting was the first presided over by Bullem since he assumed office on 6th November, 2026 as the 7th Substantive Chairman of the party in the state.
In a major restructuring, the SWC approved the harmonisation of all campaign structures into the party structure.
According to the communique, all candidates’ campaign structures shall be subsumed into the party structures, and their Directors General shall function as Directors within the party’s campaign structure.
The SWC said the move is to ensure unity of command and effective coordination.

The SWC approved the change of nomenclature of the State Chairman as Director General of Campaigns to Chairman of Campaign Council.
By that decision, Bullem, as State Chairman, will also head the campaign council of the party in the state.
To drive the campaigns, the SWC also approved the formation and ratification of twenty (20) Campaign Directorates, each to be headed by a Director.
The SWC also resolved that the Strategic Committee be collapsed into the Elders Forum, in line with the provisions of the Party Constitution.
The meeting passed a vote of confidence on the leadership of the party and reaffirmed its commitment to work as one united family for success at all levels.
The SWC emphasised discipline, loyalty, respect for party supremacy at all levels and enjoined all members to work within the structures of the party and to eschew anti party activities.
It also urged members to remain steadfast and continue working together to reposition the PDP for victory in the 2027 general elections.
