The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rescheduled its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting from the earlier date of October 24 to November 28.
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi disclosed this while reading a communique issued by the PDP Governors’ Forum at the end of its enlarged meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
Governor Mohammed, who is the chairman of the forum, said that rising from the consultative meeting of the various organs of the party, the PDP resolved that the NEC meeting originally slated for October 24 has been rescheduled to 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 (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.
Members were urged to shun divisive utterances that could undermine the PDP’s role as an opposition party that plans to unseat the APC in 2027 elections.
Those who attended the meeting include 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.
