PDP holds late-night national caucus meeting in Abuja

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held a late-night National Caucus meeting at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.

The closed-door session, which started around 9pm, was presided over by the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum.

It included top party figures such as Governors Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Ademola Adeleke (Osun), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), and Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), as well as former Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Chief Bode George, and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) and Board of Trustees (BoT).

According to sources, key items on the agenda included the zoning arrangement for the 2027 presidential ticket, preparations for the forthcoming national convention, and issues around security.

“The zoning of the presidential ticket is a sensitive matter that requires careful consideration,” a source told Vanguard.

Another top priority was party unity, especially in light of recent defections to other parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Security concerns were also discussed following the recent assassination attempt on Mr Jude Ezenwafor, the PDP governorship candidate for Anambra State.

“The safety of our members is paramount,” the source added.
