CYRIL MBAH, Abuja
As the nation moves toward the 2027 general elections, the mainstream Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has initiated interactive meetings aimed at repositioning the embattled political party in readiness for its active participation in the polls.
A series of closed-door, reconciliation and confidence-building meetings which will also be used to map out strategies for the party have been arranged by the new leadership of the PDP headed by Barrister Kabiru Saminu Turaki SAN, with executive governors that are still loyal to the party and other stakeholders from the 36 states of the federation.
According to a notice issued on Monday in Abuja, the party has also sent out several letters of invitation for separate meetings with state chairmen of the party, to be held on Wednesday at the Yar’adua Centre soon after the party issues a certificate of return to its Ekiti State Governorship candidate.
Thereafter, the Turaki-led PDP will also be meeting with former state governors and serving House of Representatives members loyal to the party before interacting with former ex-officio members and senators to discuss the way forward for the party.
The notice of the meetings, which was signed by the National Organizing Secretary, Theophilus Dakas Shan stated that the series of interactions will be wrapped up on December 17, 2027, with the gathering of former National Working Committee members and former ministers at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel.
It is obvious that members of PDP faction headed by the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike will not be attending the meetings because they were issued with certificates of expulsion from the party late in November and will not be part of the discussions that would take place at the separate gatherings.
