President Bola Ahmed Tinubu<\/p><\/div>\n
In a communique issued after the meeting, the PDP alleged that crimminals are daily “emboldened by President Tinubu\u2019s apparent negligence and abdication of his Constitutional duty to ensure the safety and security of the nation and her citizens.”<\/p>\n
The communique, which was Issued at the end of the rigorous meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) was signed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
\nActing National Chairman, Amb. Umar Iliya Damagun.<\/p>\n
Participants at the meeting also resolved to demand that “President Tinubu and the APC administration should rescind all its anti-people policies and take practical steps to address the insecurity and economic recession in the country.”<\/p>\n
The conmunique read as follows: “The National Executive Committee (NEC) of our great Party, at its 99th meeting today, Tuesday, May 27, 2025 thoroughly examined the State of affairs of the nation and the Party and resolved as follows:<\/p>\n
“NEC expresses serious concern over the sorry and melancholic state of affairs of our Nation under the irredeemably exploitative insensitive and anti-people All Progressives Congress (APC) administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n
“NEC also laments the worsening economic hardship and extreme poverty in the country occasioned by the ill-advised and ill-implemented polices of the Tinubu administration; hike in fuel price, wanton increase in electricity tariff, multiple taxes and unexplained charges on services, resulting in collapse of the productive sector, closure of millions of businesses, massive loss of jobs, rise in criminality and general sense of misery across the country.<\/p>\n
“NEC condemns the policy inconsistency, wholesale corruption, massive treasury-looting, budget padding and diversion of public funds that pervade the Tinubu administration resulting in infrastructural retrogression and loss of investors\u2019 confidence in our system.
\n“NEC restates the PDP demand that President Tinubu administration should rescind all its anti-people policies and take practical steps to address the insecurity and economic recession in the country.
\n“Furthermore, NEC stands in firm resistance to the sinister plot by the Tinubu-led APC to turn Nigeria into a one-Party totalitarian state as evidenced in the desperate attempts to stifle and annihilate opposition parties through open siege, threats and intimidation of opposition figures and institutions of democracy in Nigeria. It is clear that this plot is borne out of APC\u2019s mortal fear of inevitable defeat in 2027 due to its dismal failure in government.
\n“On the part of the PDP, NEC restates our Party\u2019s belief in Democracy, the Rule of Law and the Supremacy of the Will of the people as expressed through their free and unhindered democratic participation in multi-party politics and governance.
\n“The successful convening of the 99th NEC meeting clearly communicates our Party’s unity and focus despite the challenges.”
\nIt said that pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution, NEC received and ratified the composition of the Committee on the National Convention and approved the conduct of the National Convention on Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th August 2025.
\nThe NEC also received and ratified the composition of the Committee on the Zoning of National Offices ahead of the National Convention and named the members of the Zoning Committee as Gov. Douye Diri -Chairman, Gov. Dauda Lawal -Vice Chairman and Gov. Caleb Mutfwang -Secretary.
\nAlso, the members of the National Convention Committee are Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri- Chairman, Gov. Ademola Adeleke- Vice Chairman and Gov. Peter Mbah – Secretary.
\nThe NEC also received the Resolution of the South East Zonal Executive with regard to the issue of the National Secretary of the Party and resolved to consider the resolution of the South East Zonal Executive at the next NEC meeting scheduled to hold on Monday, 30th June, 2025.
\nThe opposition party reassured Nigerians that “the PDP remains strong, resilient , united and determined now, more than ever before in leading the charge to rescue our nation from the vicious grip of the APC.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
