PDP crisis: Baraje faction to hold caucus meeting despite warnings from Tukur

by Adeola Balogun

Obviously undeterred by the many blows being thrown their way, the Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has continued to press on and is set to hold a caucus meeting.

This move comes despite warnings received from Bamanga Tukur, the PDP National Chairman, urging the new faction to desist from parading itself as a valid arm of the PDP or face prosecution.

The Baraje led faction has reportedly finalized arrangements for the meeting, which is to be attended by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the 7 governor members of the new faction, despite having two of its meeting points shut down.

Vanguard reports:

Sunday Vanguard gathered that also to attend the meeting are former governors in the group; senators, members of the House of Representatives and states Houses of Assembly and members of the faction’s National Working Committee, NWC, among others.

The meeting, it was learnt, will have in attendance all the seven governors opposed to the PDP leadership at Sokoto State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja, just as challenges confronting the PDP and how to receive more governors who plan to join the group, among others, top the agenda of the meeting.

A source said, “Note that the caucus meeting of our party comprising our governors, senators, former governors, stakeholders, few of our NWC members comes up on Sunday 8pm at Sokoto Lodge to discuss the challenges of the Baraje-led PDP, strategise on how to receive more governors and map out how to move the party forward.” The national leadership of the PDP, had, on Friday, warned the Baraje-led `New PDP’ to stop making utterances, issuing press statements or hold meetings or be treated as impostors and criminals.
