The South East Zonal Executive Committee (ZEC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently convening with the National Working Committee (NWC) to discuss urgent matters jeopardising the party’s unity and stability.
The meeting, which began at 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday, is chaired by the Deputy National Chairman (South), Taofeek Arapaja, on behalf of the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Iliya Umar Damagum.
Discussions primarily focused on the ongoing contention regarding the position of National Secretary, with the South East ZEC firmly reiterating its demand for the ratification of Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye for the role.
Key PDP figures in attendance included the National Vice Chairman (South East), Ali Odefa; the National Woman Leader, Hon. Amina Darasimi Bryhm; the National Auditor, Okechukwu Obiechina Daniel; and several state chairmen, such as Chidi Chidebe of Anambra State and Dr. Martin Chukwunweike of Enugu State.
