The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) will convene a crucial meeting today at the Legacy House in Maitama, Abuja, the party announced on Tuesday.
The announcement was made through the party's official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday morning, confirming the meeting would proceed despite recent challenges facing Nigeria's main opposition party.
The timing of the NEC meeting is particularly significant as it comes shortly after the Federal Capital Territory Authority (FCTA) sealed the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja, adding to the party's mounting difficulties.
According to reports, the meeting is expected to address several key challenges currently facing the opposition party. These issues include the recent closure of its headquarters and other internal matters requiring urgent attention from the party's highest decision-making body.
The sealing of the PDP National Secretariat has created additional pressure on the party leadership. An aide to the FCT Minister reportedly claimed that the party owes over N7.6 million in ground rent, which led to the closure action.
In response to the secretariat closure, the PDP Board of Trustees had earlier convened an emergency meeting, highlighting the seriousness with which the party views the situation.
Political observers will be watching closely as the NEC meeting could determine the party's strategy moving forward, especially regarding its relationship with the current administration and its preparations for future electoral contests.
The outcome of today's meeting may provide clarity on how Nigeria's main opposition party plans to navigate its current challenges and reposition itself in the country's political landscape.
