It said NEC resolved to consider the resolution of the South-East Zonal Executive at the next NEC meeting scheduled to hold on June 30, 2025.

The party, however, condemned killings, kidnapping, and other acts of terrorism in various parts of Nigeria, saying insecurity in the country is emboldened by President Bola Tinubu’s “apparent negligence and abdication of his Constitutional duty to ensure the safety and security of the nation and her citizens.”

The PDP also lamented the economic hardship and poverty in the country, noting that this was occasioned by the “ill-advised and ill-implemented polices of the Tinubu administration”.

The PDP urged Tinubu’s administration to rescind “all its anti-people policies” and take practical steps to address the insecurity and economic hardship in the country.

The party, therefore, reassured Nigerians that it remains “strong, resilient, united, and determined now, more than ever before in leading the charge to rescue our nation from the vicious grip of the APC.”
