PDP postpones South-South zonal congress
The Peoples Democratic Party’s NWC has postponed its South-South zonal congress, which was scheduled earlier on Saturday.
PDP spokesman Debo Ologunagba disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Abuja. He said a new exercise date would be announced in due course.
Mr Ologunagba said the postponement was necessitated by the need for further consultation on critical issues relating to the smooth conduct of the congress in the zone.
“The NWC regrets any inconvenience the postponement of the South-South zonal congress would cause. A new date will be communicated in due course,” he said.
Mr Ologunagba, however, confirmed that the South-East and North-East zonal congresses would be held as already scheduled on Saturday at the party’s zonal headquarters in Enugu and Bauchi States, respectively.
He advised all aspirants, stakeholders, PDP leaders and members, the Independent National Electoral Commission, and security agencies to take note of the postponement and the Saturday congresses and be guided accordingly.
