PDP Holds Convention December 9 | The Precision

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Executive Committee has approved December 9 for the party’s national elective convention.

The PDP National Caretaker Committee Publicity Secretary, Mr Dayo
Adeyeye, disclosed this on Tuesday at the end of the party’s 76th NEC
meeting in Abuja.

He said that the proposed budget for the convention that would hold
at the Eagles Square was also submitted for NEC consideration.

Adeyeye added that the NEC also granted waivers to new members in
Anambra and Oyo States who recently decamped from other political
parties to the PDP.

“As you know in Oyo state, so many people are joining PDP from other
parties and we want to give them a level playing ground just like other
members who have been in the party.

“The effectiveness of that is that as we are conducting congresses of
the party from wards to local government level, new members can
participate.”

Asked if the PDP candidates for Anambra governorship election, Mr
Obaze Oseloka, was among those granted waiver by the NEC, Adeyeye said
that Oseloka had been granted waiver before the party’s primary
election.

“What we did today was for the NEC to ratify the decisions of the national caretaker committee.”

He added that the NEC also approved party election guidelines for 2017 Congresses and national convention.

Adeyeye said that the proposed amendment to the party’s constitution
was presented for consideration to avoid a repeat of what happened in
2013.

“Some of these proposed amendments were accepted, some rejected while others are still been considered.”

He added that the final decision on the party’s constitutional
amendment would be taken at the forthcoming national convention.
