As part of the preparations for the upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the acting national secretary of party, Hon. (Arc) Setonji Koshoedo, met with party staff yesterday.
The meeting, held at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja, focused on resuming full activities at the party headquarters ahead of the NEC meeting, which has been scheduled for May 27, 2025, following last month’s meeting of PDP governors and party leaders in Ibadan.
The Ibadan meeting had directed Hon. Koshoedo to assume the national secretary position to address the ongoing dispute between Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Hon. Sunday Ude-Okoye for the role.
Yesterday’s meeting follows a period of limited party activity due to the national secretary dispute. A party official stated that the meeting represented a significant step by the Acting National Secretary towards preparing the Secretariat for the NEC meeting on May 27, 2025, and the National Convention, set for August 28 to 30, 2025.
The official added that Hon. Koshoedo emphasized his commitment to the National Working Committee’s (NWC) agenda of reunifying, rebuilding, and repositioning the PDP as an opposition party. The Acting National Secretary also indicated his intention to strengthen party structures at all levels and briefed staff on preparations for the NEC meeting, which is expected to discuss important issues such as zoning arrangements for national offices ahead of the National Convention and strategies to address other challenges facing the party.
