Governors on the Peoples Democratic Party platform will gather in Jos, Plateau State, on Saturday to address internal issues and the status of the country amid continuous internal conflicts within the party.
The purpose of the gathering was to prepare for the party’s 99th National Executive Committee meeting, which is set for November 28.
The acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, National Secretary, Sam Anyanwu, and National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), were invited to the meeting, according to a senior PDP member who asked to remain anonymous because he was not permitted to speak on the subject.
At the 98th NEC meeting, held on April 18, party leaders approved the formation of a reconciliation and disciplinary committee, and the conduct of ward and state congresses, and instructed the North Central caucus to consult on the national chairmanship position.
The 99th NEC conference, originally rescheduled to October 24, 2024, and then to November 28, 2024, was also scheduled for August 15 by the 98th NEC.
Meanwhile, elections for governor of Edo and Ondo were held, and the All Progressives Congress won in both states.
Since the party lost the general election in 2023, the crisis inside the party has persisted.
Some members, including governors, were asking that the acting national chairman, Damagum, step aside for a new leadership that would revive the fortunes of the party.
