PDP Crisis: BoT and governors advised to exclude Atiku and Wike from NEC meeting

Various concerned groups within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have collectively urged the Party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), PDP Governors Forum, and the National Working Committee (NWC) to take action to prevent the attendance of Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike at the upcoming National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja, citing the need to maintain order and political stability within the party.

The call to bar these two prominent figures from the meeting is seen as a crucial step in addressing the ongoing political crisis that poses a threat to the unity and coherence of the party, with the hope that the BoT and PDP Governors Forum will swiftly intervene to avert further discord.
