PDP Crisis: BoT, governors urged to bar Atiku, Wike from NEC meeting
Concerned groups of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have
called on the Party’s Board of Trustees, BoT, PDP Governors Forum, and the
National Working Committee, NWC, of the party to prevent Atiku Abubakar and
Nyesom Wike from attending the meeting.
The groups made this call ahead of the National Executive
Council, NEC, meeting of the party scheduled for Thursday in Abuja.
According to them, barring the two individuals would help
restore sanity and political stability in the party, urging the BoT and PDP
Governors Forum to take immediate action to address the ongoing political
crisis threatening to undermine the unity and stability of the party.
The PDP Northern Professionals Movement and PDP Elders
Support Group in a joint statement after a meeting with other stakeholders of
the party from 22 States of the North in Kaduna, also kicked against the calls
for the removal of Usman Iliya Damagum as acting chairman of the party, arguing
that, the case of the suspended chairman, Iyorcha Ayu is still in court.
