The gathering holding at the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja is the 98th NEC and the first time all PDP leaders will be attending the party’s meeting since the 2023 election. Recently, some members of the PDP called for the resignation of the party’s acting National Chairman Umar Damagum.
The call for the sack of the Damagum-led NWC is the latest in the leadership crisis rocking the PDP and it appears to be dividing the party again. While the PDP national caucus at their meeting on Wednesday wanted the Damagum-led exco to continue, the board of trustees urged the party to do the needful by getting someone from the North-Central Zone to complete the tenure of the ousted Ayu.
On his part, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees Adolphus Wabara noted that there is an urgent need for reconciliation He called on the NEC to take on the crucial role of the crisis that has engulfed the party.
