Former ruling party, now the main opposition party in Nigeria, the People’s Democratic Party has set in motion, plans that will see to the emergency of a substantive chairman on Wednesday during the scheduled meeting of members of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) in Abuja.
This was disclosed in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, on Friday.
Metuh said that the NEC of party had planned a meeting of the different statutory bodies of the party for Wednesday, 10th of February.
According to the Schedule, the National Caucus of the PDP will be meeting on Tuesday. Metuh also stated that the PDP Board of Trustee (BoT) will meet on the morning of Wednesday, while the National Working Committee (NWC) would meet on Wednesday afternoon.
“The meetings are in furtherance of internal discussions on very crucial issues within the party as well as ways to reposition it for the challenges ahead,” Metuh stated.
The leadership problem of the PDP have become further complicated with the lawsuit filed by the self-imposed National of the party, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak.
Gulak is asking the court to stop the PDP from conducting its scheduled meeting, including that of the NEC.
The lawsuit, which was filed by Gulak’s lawyer, J.S Okutepa (SAN), before a court of appeal, is asking for an injunction order stopping the party from allowing anybody to preside over a meeting as the national chairman of the party.
The suit is also seeking for the court to determine if the continuous parade of Uche Secondus as the Acting National chairman of the party is not a contempt of court order.
