The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting is currently ongoing at Legacy House, in the Maitama District of Abuja.
The party’s acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, disclosed this to newsmen after the PDP Extraordinary Caucus Meeting held on Tuesday in Abuja.
“We just finished the extraordinary caucus meeting. We are moving to Legacy House for our NEC meeting.
“I think it will be proper for us to address you immediately after we finish the NEC meeting,” Damagum said.
The 99th NEC meeting began at 2.00 p.m. at the party’s presidential campaign office, Legacy House, in the Maitama District of Abuja.
The Legacy House is hosting the meeting earlier fixed for the party’s national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.
It was, however, changed to Legacy House, following the closure of the national secretariat by the Federal Capital Territory Administration due to 28 years of unpaid grand rent.
The NEC is one of the highest decision-making organs of the PDP.
The NEC is made up of the national chairman and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC), state governors, serving and former presidents, former vice-presidents, the chairman and secretary of the Board of Trustees (BoT), principal officers of the National Assembly, state chairpersons, former governors and founding members, among others, are also members of NEC.
At the extraordinary caucus meeting held at the Bauchi governor’s lodge earlier in the day were the Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, Governors Ademola Adeleke of Osun, Seyi Makinde of Oyo.
Others were the BoT Chairman, Sen. Adolphus Wabara, BoT Secretary, Ahmed Makarfi, a former Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki, a BoT member, Chief Bode George, former National Chairman, Uche Secondus, Chairman of PDP South-South Caretaker Committee, Emmanuel Ogidi, NWC members and some former governors were also in attendance.
