The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has shifted its Board of Trustees, BoT, and National Executive Committee, NEC, meetings earlier scheduled for January 7 and 8, 2014 respectively to January 15 and 16.
The postponement, according to information scooped, is to enable the party’s leadership to prepare well enough for the two crucial meetings. However, no official reason was given for the change in dates. The meetings will still hold at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja.
In recent times, the ruling party has been thrown into crisis. The catastrophe in the PDP got to a high point when seven aggrieved governors formed a faction of the party alongside Atiku Abubakar on August 27, 2013 while the party was holding its National Convection in Abuja.
Some of the aggrieved governors have now joined the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC. Before the crisis degenerated to its present state, there were calls for the removal of the National Chairman of the party, Bamanga Tukur. Some members of the party believe Tukur is the brain behind the pandemonium in PDP.
