Tension Rocks PDP as NWC Shelves 103rd NEC Meeting

 Fresh uncertainty has gripped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as its National Working Committee (NWC) abruptly postponed the 103rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting earlier scheduled for Wednesday. 

The decision was taken by the National Working Committee (NWC) at an emergency meeting, in exercise of its powers under Section 29 (2)(b) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).

This was contained in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, on Monday night, who said the postponement was approved by the NWC and that a new date would be communicated to members in due course.

“Distinguished members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) may recall that the 103rd NEC meeting was earlier scheduled to hold on Wednesday, 15, 2015.

“However, in view of recent developments within the Party, the National Working Committee (NWC), exercising its powers under Section 29 (2)(b) of the Constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party (as amended in 2017), at its emergency meeting held on Monday, 13th October, 2025, approved the postponement of the 103rd NEC meeting,” Ologunagba added.

The PDP spokesman further stated that a new date for the meeting will be communicated to members in due course, urging NEC members to take note of the development and act accordingly.

“All NEC members are kindly requested to take note of this development and be guided accordingly,” he said.

The postponement comes at a time of heightened internal consultations and political realignments within the opposition party, signalling possible strategic moves by the leadership ahead of key national decisions.

Though no reason was explicitly stated for the postponement, party insiders suggest that the NWC may be buying time to address sensitive internal issues before convening the NEC, traditionally the PDP’s highest decision-making body between conventions.
