FCT, Abuja – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors’ forum is set to commence its emergency meeting at the Bauchi state governor’s lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.
As reported by Vanguard newspaper on Tuesday night, October 22, the meeting aims to discuss the state of the party and other issues concerning Nigeria as a whole.
The forum is also expected to host an enlarged session which will include members of the national working committee (NWC), the board of trustees (BoT), members of the forum of the erstwhile governors of the party, and the PDP national assembly leadership.
Already, Dauda Lawal and Ademola Adeleke, governors of Zamfara and Osun states respectively, have arrived for the meeting.
Other early arrivals include Umar Damagum, the embattled acting national chairman; Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the national secretary; Umar Bature, PDP’s national organising secretary; and Ahmed Makarfi, BoT secretary.
TheTalk.NG reports that the opposition party has been embroiled in an internal crisis since 2022, which has polarised its NWC.
The crisis took a new twist recently when a faction in the NWC suspended Damagum and Anyanwu over alleged anti-party activities.
Counter-suspensions followed, prompting the BoT and other organs of the party to direct the NWC to revert to status quo.
