A high-powered delegation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) visited the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters on Tuesday to resolve an ongoing dispute within the party.
The delegation, led by Acting National Chairman Ambassador Umar Damagum, included prominent party stakeholders.
Members of the Delegation comprised notable figures such as:
- Former Senate President Bukola Saraki
- Governors:
- Bala Mohammed (Bauchi)
- Seyi Makinde (Oyo)
- Dauda Lawal (Zamfara)
- Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau)
- Former Governors:
- Ahmed Makarfi (Kaduna)
- Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa)
- Senator Ben Obi
Damagum stated that the visit was prompted by a letter from INEC raising concerns about inconsistencies in the party's communication regarding the 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. The PDP delegation aimed to clarify the issue and resolve the dispute over the national secretary position.
"For 99 previous NEC meetings, the commission received letters signed by both the National Chairman and the National Secretary,” Yakubu stated. “However, this time, the letter bore only the chairman’s signature, prompting the need for clarification.”
“Sometimes ago, the commission received a letter from the party stating that one Ude Okoye is the national secretary. After that, we received another letter that said it was Senator Anyanwu. The party changed its mind and said it was one Shokoye. Again, the party changed its kind and said it is Senator Anyanwu
“We are the regulators of political parties, and when we go into the working session, I hope we will fully understand where you are coming from and what you expect from us as the registrar and regulators of political parties.”
