PDP shifts meetings on chairmanship to next week

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has postponed the meetings of its organs, which are aimed at resolving the row over chairmanship of the party, to next week.

The party had scheduled Tuesday to begin discussions on the testy issue, but in a statement signed by Olisa Metuh, PDP spokesman, on Monday,  the party said that the shift in the dates was due to the requests of critical stakeholders.

“In view of requests by critical stakeholders and leaders of our great party, the National Working Committee (NWC) has approved the shifting of the meetings of key statutory organs of the party earlier scheduled for this week to next week,” it said.

“In the new schedule, the meeting of the National Caucus of the party has been shifted to Monday, February 15th, 2016 at 7pm. In the same vein, the meeting of the Board of Trustees (BoT) will now hold on the morning of Tuesday, February 16th while the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting will hold at 2pm on the same Tuesday, February 16th, 2016.

“The NWC deeply regrets any inconveniences that may be caused by this shift in dates.”
