It was learnt that all former Governors that belong to the group, Senators, members of the House of Representatives and states Houses of Assembly as well as members of the group’s National Working Committee, NWC, will attend the meeting.
The meeting which has been scheduled to hold at the Sokoto state Governor’s lodge in Asokoro, Abuja will have all seven governors loyal to the new PDP in attendance.
A source told Vanguard that, “Note that the caucus meeting of our party comprising our governors, senators, former governors, stakeholders, few of our NWC members comes up on Sunday 8pm at Sokoto Lodge to discuss the challenges of the Baraje-led PDP, strategise on how to receive more governors and map out how to move the party forward.”
However, the national leadership of the PDP, had issued a statement on Friday, warning the Baraje-led `New PDP’ to stop representing, discussing or issuing press statements in the name of the party, else, they would be treated as impostors and criminals.
A statement by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, warned that the Baraje-led, `New PDP’ must desist from any act that is contrary to the ruling of the court.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary said, “For the avoidance of doubt, the ruling of the court in this regard is absolutely clear, direct and unambiguous. The PDP has only one duly elected National Executive Committee under the National Chairmanship of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.
”Henceforth, the leadership of the PDP will no longer tolerate or condone any meeting, utterances, press statements and/or activities whatsoever under the name, flag and colour of the PDP by any unauthorized person or group(s) under any guise.
”As a law abiding party, the PDP remained calm in the face of the unwarranted attacks of the last few months. Our leaders chose the path of caution and decorum but our reconciliatory moves and offer of olive branch were treated with the highest disdain and viewed as signs of weakness.
”The National Working Committee has therefore directed that the name, colour, flag and the provisions of constitution of our party must be held sacrosanct by our members.
‘’The PDP has adequate internal mechanism for resolution of disagreements and members are advised to express their grievances through such.
”We thank all members who kept faith and remained loyal to the constitution of the party through this trying time. Our party remains one big family and the preeminent party, commanding true and genuine followership among Nigerians across the country.
”The challenges of the last few months instead of detracting us have indeed better positioned our party to continue to win elections at all levels in our country.” The party had declared.
