Still, there is some doubt about what will happen to the proposed National Convention.
Sources revealed that the PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, is yet to sign the notification letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) – a step required before the convention can be confirmed.
A source at the meeting explained, “The convention process requires the secretary’s signature for INEC notification, and his hesitation has left many members uncertain about the next steps.
“What we are seeing is a delay in procedure. Until the secretary signs, the timeline for the convention cannot be confirmed.
“Some believe the secretary is still consulting or weighing his options, which is why the process has slowed down.
“We hope the NEC will provide direction today so that all organs of the party can move forward in harmony,” the party source added.
Key stakeholders present at the caucus meeting included; former Senate President Bukola Saraki; Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Bala Mohammed of Bauchi; PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara; Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun; Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara; former Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Turaki (SAN); Acting National Chairman Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum; Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro; former Governor of Niger, Babangida Aliyu; Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa; and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, among others.
