The National Work Committee (NWC) of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) approved the postponement of the party’s Local Government Congress to elect an LGA national delegate scheduled for Thursday.
The party, in a statement from its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in Abuja on Wednesday, said a new date for the LGA Congress would be announced.
Mr. Ologunagba said that the NWC regretted any inconvenience the postponement might have caused.
He advised all leaders, critical stakeholders and party members across the country to take note.
Similarly, the party declared the three-man ad hoc delegates’ congress in Ebonyi null and void, saying that the congress would take place on May 5.
Mr Ologunagba said the NWC’s attention had been drawn to reports of the alleged conduct of a three-man ad hoc delegate congress in Ebonyi on Wednesday.
“For the avoidance of doubt, said 3-man ad hoc congress of delegates at Ebonyi on Wednesday May 4, 2022 is by law, null and void and as such not recognized.
“This is because said Congress is by law subject to monitoring by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which in this case is not available to monitor the exercise.
“Based on the unavailability of INEC to monitor the exercise, the NWC has rescheduled the holding of the 3-man ad hoc delegates’ congress in Ebonyi for Thursday, May 5.”
Mr. Ologunagba advised all party members in Ebonyi to reject any exercises held on Wednesday, as the state’s ad hoc three-man PDP delegate congress would take place on Thursday.
