The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Sunday that it had rescheduled its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting for May 15.

This is contained in a “notice of 99th NEC meeting” issued by its new national secretary, Sunday Udeh-Okoye, in Abuja.

Mr Udeh-Okoye said rescheduling the meeting earlier fixed for March 13 to a new date would allow the party to, among others, conclude pending zonal, state, LGA and ward congresses.

He added that the decision was also to allow for further consultations to ensure a hitch-free meeting, especially with regard to other proposed activities of the party.

Mr Udeh-Okoye stated that the NWC took the decision after consultations with leaders, stakeholders and relevant organs of the party, including the Board of Trustees (BoT), the PPP Governors’ Forum and the PDP National Assembly Caucus.

“All NEC Members should please note the change of date and be guided accordingly,” Mr Udeh-Okoye said.

He added, “The NWC sincerely regrets any inconveniences this change of date will cause distinguished members of NEC.”
