The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has scheduled an emergency national executive committee (NEC) meeting for
Tuesday.
Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesman of
the party, announced this late Monday.
He said the meeting will hold at
the Wazata Plaza headquarters of the party in Abuja at 12 midday on Tuesday.
Ologbindiyan did not make public
the agenda of the meeting but the announcement comes less than two hours after
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said political parties
were free to continue with their campaign.
Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of INEC,
had first said the period for campaign was over despite the postponement of the
elections.
The All Progressives Congress
(APC) and the PDP had vowed to disregard the directive of Yakubu not to
campaign.
Both parties maintained that his
directive was in violation of the electoral act which allows campaign until 24
hours to the election.
The national caucus of the APC
met at the party’s headquarters in Abuja on Monday and reviewed the poll shift,
threat to stop campaign and other issues dominating the polity.
The two leading parties are
concluding their strategies in the week to the presidential and national
assembly elections.
