PDP internal crisis deepens, postpone national convention

 The internal crisis in the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has deepened and has led to the postponement of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, which was initially scheduled to hold on November 28th, 2024.

In a notice signed by the party’s National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the reason for the rescheduling of this meeting was attributed to the need for party leaders to attend the funeral of Pastor Mrs. Patience Umo Eno, the late First Lady of Akwa Ibom State. The funeral is scheduled to take place from November 27 to 29, 2024.

The notice read: “At its meeting of Wednesday, the attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) was drawn to the programme of events of the funeral ceremony of Mrs. Eno, which coincide with the scheduled dates of activities for the 99th NEC meeting. After due consideration, the NWC, recognising the need for party leaders to commiserate with Governor Eno, hereby notify NEC members that the 99th NEC meeting will now be held on a date that will be communicated to members in due course.”

“All NEC Members should please note the change of date and be guided accordingly. The NWC sincerely regrets inconvenience this change of date will cause distinguished members of NEC.”

Recall that the meeting, which was originally scheduled for August, was first shifted to September. Then it was moved to October 2, before it was shifted to November 28.
