The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is making every concerted effort to address it’s internal crisis as members of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) and National Assembly caucus meet behind closed doors.
The meeting, which is currently taking place at the PDP office, Legacy House in Abuja, comes amid growing concerns over the state of the party since the last election.
The opposite party has been enmeshed in internal conflicts, with several party stakeholders expressing frustration over the failure of Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, to introduce significant reforms.
Tensions escalated further after the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, openly criticized Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, and the PDP Governors Forum concerning the party’s leadership structure.
However, the ongoing meeting is seen as an attempt by the BoT to gauge the perspective of the PDP National Assembly caucus regarding the party’s issues.
In attendance are key figures such as Senate Deputy Minority Leader Lere Oyewumi, House of Representatives Minority Whip Hon. Ali Isa JC, and Hon. Pastor Ojema Ojotu.
The outcome of these discussions remains uncertain, but it is expected that the BoT will propose recommendations aimed at steering the party back on course.
