Adebayo Adenrele

The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has said the planned Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention will be invalid if the party does not immediately conduct the Ekiti Local Government Area congresses, in line with judicial pronouncements.

He also called for fresh Congresses in Ebonyi and Anambra states, in strict compliance with subsisting court judgments.

Wike stated this during a late night emergency meeting with PDP stakeholders across the 36 states and the FCT at his Abuja residence.

His other demands include, “A new South East Zonal Congress must be urgently conducted.

“The outcome of the South South Congress in Calabar, already upheld by the courts, must be respected.

“There should be no micro-zoning of offices, beyond the general zoning formula already adopted by the National Executive Committee NEC, to maintain peace and stability.

“The national chairmanship position must remain in the North Central, consistent with the zoning arrangement of the 2021 convention”.
