The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has, once again postponed its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for November 28, 2024 indefinitely.
The latest postponement was conveyed via a statement by the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
Anyamwu said the postponement became necessary to enable party leaders attend the funeral of the late First Lady of Akwa Ibom State, Mrs. Patience Umo Eno, who is wife of Governor Pastor Umo Bassey Eno. The funeral is scheduled for November 27th-29th, 2024.
The statement reads, “At its meeting of Wednesday, the attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) was drawn to the programme of events of the funeral ceremony of Mrs. Eno, which coincide with the scheduled dates of activities for the 99th NEC meeting. After due consideration, the NWC, recognising the need for party leaders to commiserate with Governor Eno, hereby notify NEC members that the 99th NEC meeting will now be held on a date that will be communicated to members in due course.”
“All NEC Members should please note the change of date and be guided accordingly. The NWC sincerely regrets inconveniences this change of date will cause distinguished members of NEC.”
