“Due to some incidents caused by those who are the enemies of progress, the enemies of democracy, we have decided to postpone this meeting till tomorrow,” he stated.

Turaki also commended the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Commissioner of Police for providing security that enabled the leadership access the secretariat.

He disclosed that he had briefed the police commissioner about the planned NWC meeting and informed him of the announcement of the NEC and BoT meetings by persons no longer recognised as PDP members.

Turaki thanked party stakeholders for their support, saying the PDP remains committed to unity and stability.
