Details Of PDP BoT emergency meeting in Abuja emerge
The details of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) emergency meeting held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja on Wednesday February 5, 2025, have emerged.
The meeting, which was convened to address several key issues within the party, concluded with important resolutions aimed at stabilizing the party ahead of future challenges.
One of the main decisions taken by the BoT was the recognition of Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye as the National Secretary of the party.
This decision follows a court ruling from the High Court of Enugu, which was upheld by the Court of Appeal.
The BoT instructed the National Working Committee (NWC) to swear in Udeh-Okoye immediately to comply with the legal judgment.
The board also called on party organs, members, and stakeholders to respect the Court of Appeal’s ruling regarding the position of National Secretary.
The meeting also praised the efforts of the PDP Governors’ Forum, the NWC, and the South-East Executive Committee for their commitment to upholding the party’s constitution.
The board expressed satisfaction with the progress made by the party despite facing internal challenges, particularly legal disputes involving competing claims for the office of National Secretary.
In addition, the BoT gave its approval for the upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for March 13, 2025.
The board viewed this meeting as an opportunity for critical deliberations that will help shape the future of the PDP and the direction it takes in the coming years.
A vote of confidence was passed on the BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, and Secretary, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, recognizing their leadership in stabilizing the party during a challenging period.
The BoT emphasized the importance of unity among members, urging everyone to work together to strengthen the PDP and reclaim its leadership role in the country’s political landscape.
