Pdp Nwc Holds Emergency Meeting Amid Defections

An emergency meeting convened by the National Working Committee NWC of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP has begun at the partys national secretariat in Abuja.

The meeting, being held behind closed doors on Tuesday, follows the defection of high-profile individuals including Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State and his predecessor Ifeanyi Okowa to the All Progressives Congress APC

Okowa was also PDPs vice-presidential candidate during the general elections in 2023.

Oborevwori, Okowa and others dismantled PDPs structure in Delta as the Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme, state commissioners, local government chairmen and the states grassroots machinery all moved to the APC.

According to Oborevwori, it was important for the state to align with the party controlling the Federal Government.
