The PDP’s National Working Committee is holding an emergency meeting in Abuja amid mass defections and internal crises.

Key leaders in Delta State, including Okowa and Governor Oborevwori, have joined the APC, collapsing the party’s structure in the state.

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has convened an emergency meeting at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.

The meeting, which is currently being held behind closed doors, comes in response to a wave of high-profile defections and deepening internal unrest within the party.

Following a closed-door meeting in Asaba, Delta’s Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme, all state commissioners, local government chairmen, and grassroots party members also moved en masse to the APC, significantly weakening the PDP’s foothold in the South-South region.
