ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC), led by Abdulraman Mohammed, has dismissed the 103rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and the Tanimu Turaki-led Interim National Working Committee allegedly constituted at the gathering.
In a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, the party said no such NEC meeting chaired by Sen. Adolphus Wabara was convened by the authentic leadership of the party.
It declared that any resolutions arising from the said meeting were “null, void and of no effect whatsoever”.
Mohammed argued that the PDP Constitution does not make provision for the establishment of a caretaker committee.
He further stated that even if the organisers claimed authority to convene such a meeting, they failed to comply with the Electoral Act 2026, which requires a minimum of 21 days’ notice to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“There is no evidence of compliance, nor was INEC in attendance as required by law. This alone renders their actions null and void,” he said.
He also faulted the involvement of Sen. Adolphus Wabara, noting that he had been expelled at ward level over alleged anti-party activities linked to his support for the election of Governor Alex Otti.
Mohammed added that attempts to present the Board of Trustees (BoT) as having executive powers were misleading, stressing that the BoT is strictly advisory.
He urged regulatory authorities to take note of the development, describing the meeting as an attempt to mislead the public and create internal confusion.
“We therefore call on all party members, stakeholders and the general public to completely disregard this illegitimate assembly and its outcomes,” he said.
According to him, the PDP remains committed to its constitution, the rule of law and democratic principles under the leadership of Mohammed and Sen. Samuel Anyanwu.
