N/Central kicks as PDP NWC postpones NEC meeting to October
Some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the North Central zone have berated the party’s decision to reschedule its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting initially planned for August, to October 24, 2024.
Aside from ratifying new party officials, the meeting, according to party leaders from the North Central, is crucial in electing a new substantive chairman from the zone who would succeed the acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, and complete the tenure of the suspended Dr Iyorchia Ayu.
The National Working Committee (NWC) previously delayed the NEC meeting two times, from the original date of August 15, to September 26, and now to October.
The latest rescheduling, however, sparked discontent among party members, particularly from the North Central.
