The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised concerns regarding the recent state congresses organised by the party’s national leadership.
The Chairman of the BoT and former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara expressed this concern during the 78th meeting of the advisory body held at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja.
Wabara emphasised the need for immediate action to address the discrepancies observed during the congresses.
He pointed out that reports indicated that some congresses were not conducted in accordance with the party’s established guidelines, with some even failing to take place as scheduled.
He stressed the importance of rectifying any deviations from these guidelines to uphold the integrity of the party’s democratic processes.
“These discrepancies are of serious concern and it is essential that we address them immediately.
“Therefore, we are calling on the National Working Committee (NWC) to ensure that these issues are swiftly resolved,” Wabara said.
He emphasised that, “It is crucial that any deviations from PDP guidelines are corrected, and where congresses did not hold, new dates should be scheduled to ensure all party members have a fair and transparent opportunity to participate in the democratic process.”
