The crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party continues as the party has once again postponed its National Executive Council meeting, originally scheduled for November 28, 2024.
This latest delay was announced in a public notice signed by the PDP National Secretary, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, and issued in Abuja.
According to the notice, the postponement was made to allow party leaders to attend the funeral of the late First Lady of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Mrs. Patience Umo Eno, wife of Governor Pastor Umo Bassey Eno. The funeral is scheduled to take place from November 27th to 29th, 2024.
The statement read: “At its meeting of Wednesday, the attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) was drawn to the programme of events of the funeral ceremony of Mrs. Eno, which coincide with the scheduled dates of activities for the 99th NEC meeting. After due consideration, the NWC, recognising the need for party leaders to commiserate with Governor Eno, hereby notify NEC members that the 99th NEC meeting will now be held on a date that will be communicated to members in due course.”
“All NEC Members should please note the change of date and be guided accordingly. The NWC sincerely regrets the inconvenience this change of date will cause distinguished members of NEC.”
It is worth noting that this NEC meeting, initially set for August, was first rescheduled to September, then to October 2, and later moved to November 28 before this final postponement.
