The BoT and NEC meetings of a group of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by factional National Chairman Mohammed Abdulrahman and loyal to Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, are scheduled for Tuesday, November 18.
Sam Anyawu, the factional National Secretary, reportedly revealed the agenda for the Board of Trustees and National Executive Council meeting in a notice.
The announcement stated that the meetings would take place at the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja’s Wadata Plaza.
Anyawu said, “Attendance is very important as crucial matters will be discussed and addressed.”
Recall that on Saturday, a different PDP group that supports Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde convened its national convention.
Wike, former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose, Samuel Anyanwu, and Dan Orbih were among those expelled, according to the convention, which was chaired by Umar Damagum, the immediate past acting national chairman.
The State Working Committees in Abia, Imo, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River were also disbanded in a broad motion.
Along with other party officials, Governors Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), and Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau) attended the ceremony.
Governors Mutfwang and Fintiri, however, have openly disassociated themselves from the expulsion process.
The removal of the FCT minister and his supporters is perceived as the most recent development in the ongoing conflict between Wike and the PDP Governors’ Forum, which is headed by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed.
