The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors have postponed the much-anticipated National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting originally slated for October 24 to November 28. The governors, after they met with members of the party National Working Committee (NWC), the Board of Trustees (BoT) and other organs of the party, in a meeting that lasted about five hours, called on all members to shun divisive utterances that could undermine ongoing efforts at strengthening the party. Addressing newsmen while reading the communique of the meeting, the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum and Bauchi State Govenror, Bala Mohammed explained why the NEC meeting was postponed.
He said that the postponement is to ensure that the party goes into the forthcoming Ondo gubernatorial elections of November 16, 2024, with the unity and strength demanded to unseat the All Progressives Congress (APC). The communique reads: “Rising from the consultative meeting of the various organs of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the Party resolved as follows: “The National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting originally slated for October 24, 2024, has been rescheduled to November 28, 2024. “The postponement is to ensure that the party goes into the forthcoming Ondo gubernatorial elections of November 16, 2024 with the unity and strength demanded to unseat the floundering All Progressive Congress, APC 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 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.” The organs at the meeting were; the PDP Governors’ Forum, the Board of Trustees, the National Working Committee (NWC), the National Assembly Leadership of the PDP Caucus and Forum of Former Governors of the party.
