Following the gale of defections sweeping through the ranks and strongholds of the country’s leading opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the allegations that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is creating a one-party state, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has scheduled an emergency meeting for Tuesday, April 29.
The meeting is to address the wave of defections and other internal crises that have plagued the party over the past years.
Recall that Sheriff Oborevwori, the governor of Delta state, dumped the leading opposition party, PDP, and defected to the ruling APC.In an interview on Thursday, Nasarawa state governor, Abdullahi Sule, also declared that more governors would defect to the ruling APC .
Sule said President Tinubu’s inclusive leadership style and developmental projects across states, including non-APC-controlled regions, are driving increased support.
Meanwhile, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, recently reaffirmed as national secretary by the Supreme Court, has vowed to attend the meeting despite the stance of the Governor Bala Mohammed-led PDP Governors Forum.
As reported by The Punch on Monday, April 28, a high-ranking source, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed that the NWC meeting will address the defection of party members to the APC and explore ways to prevent further defections ahead of the 2027 elections.
Setonji Koshoedo, the acting secretary appointed by PDP governors, confirmed that the NWC’s meeting will take place in Abuja on Tuesday.
Koshoedo, in an invitation to NWC members, disclosed that the meeting is scheduled for 12 noon.
