PDP postpones NEC meeting to November 28
The Peoples Democratic Party has rescheduled its National Executive Committee meeting from October 24 to November 28.
Governor Bala Mohammed disclosed while reading a communique issued by the PDP Governors’ Forum at the end of its enlarged meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mr Mohammed, the chairman of the forum, said that, based on the consultative meeting of the various organs of the party, the PDP resolved that the NEC meeting originally slated for October 24 had been rescheduled for November 28.
He said the postponement was to ensure that the party goes into the forthcoming Ondo gubernatorial elections of November 16 with the unity and strength demanded to unseat the All Progressive Congress government in the state.
Reiterating the need for unity in the face of efforts by detractors to divide the party, the meeting called on all members to shun divisive utterances.
He urged members to shun divisive utterances that could undermine ongoing efforts at strengthening the party to effectively play its role as the country’s main opposition, preparatory to taking over in 2027.
Those who attended the meeting included members of the PDP-GF, the Board of Trustees, NWC, National Assembly leadership of the PDP Caucus and Forum of Former Governors of the party.
