Some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo and his counterpart in Bauchi, Bala Mohammed, alongside members of the party’s Board of Trustees and the factional National Working Committee, have held a closed-door meeting in Abuja following the Supreme Court ruling on the PDP’s leadership crisis.
The PDP leaders were said to have met at the Bauchi House in Asokoro, Abuja, shortly after the Supreme Court ruling on Thursday, April 30.
Earlier, the Supreme Court nullified the convention that produced the national working committee that was backed by Makinde and Bala, granting victory to the faction backed by Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
According to The Punch, the high-level meeting was attended by the BoT members, the national assembly caucus, the national executive committee, the national caucus, state chairmen and members of the ex officio.
Earlier, the chairman of the Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara, announced that the BoT would take over the affairs of the party until the constitution of a substantive caretaker committee.
