The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has confirmed that the much-anticipated 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting will proceed as scheduled on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
This decision was made following a high-level meeting of the NWC held earlier today, amid speculations and pressures to postpone the gathering. The NWC, alongside several party stakeholders, stood firmly against any attempt to delay the crucial meeting, emphasizing the need for unity and decisive action within the party.
In preparation for the NEC meeting, the National Caucus of the party is currently convening at the Bauchi Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, where discussions are ongoing to finalize the agenda and streamline key issues for presentation at the NEC.
Additionally, the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP is also scheduled to meet later this evening, further setting the stage for what is expected to be a pivotal moment in the party's political calendar.
As developments continue to unfold, all eyes remain on the PDP leadership as they move to address pressing internal matters and chart the party’s direction ahead of the next political cycle.
