The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has once more postponed its highly anticipated National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, which had been rescheduled for November 28, 2024. This marks yet another delay in a series of postponements, reflecting ongoing challenges within the party.
The announcement was made through a public notice issued by Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the PDP National Secretary, in Abuja.
According to the notice, the latest postponement is to allow party leaders to attend the funeral of Pastor Mrs. Patience Umo Eno, the late First Lady of Akwa Ibom State and wife of Governor Pastor Umo Bassey Eno. The funeral is set to take place from November 27 to November 29, 2024.
The statement notice 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 inconvenience this change of date will cause distinguished members of NEC.”
