The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the postponement of its state congresses in Plateau and Cross River states, which were initially scheduled to take place on September 27. This decision was made by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and was disclosed by the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in a statement released in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to Ologunagba, a new date for the congresses will be communicated in due course. The state congresses are crucial as they are responsible for the election of State Executive Committees in the two states. The PDP has urged all stakeholders, including party leaders, members, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, and the media, to take note of the postponement and be guided accordingly.

The postponement of the state congresses may have significant implications for the party’s internal dynamics and its preparations for future elections. The PDP is one of the major political parties in Nigeria, and its internal processes are closely watched by political analysts and observers. The party has been working to strengthen its structures and position itself for upcoming electoral contests.

The National Working Committee’s decision to postpone the state congresses is likely to be subject to scrutiny and analysis by party members and external observers. The PDP has a large following in Plateau and Cross River states, and the outcome of the state congresses is expected to have a significant impact on the party’s fortunes in the region.

As the PDP works to finalize new dates for the state congresses, the party’s leadership will likely be focused on ensuring that the processes are conducted in a fair, transparent, and democratic manner. The party’s ability to manage its internal processes effectively will be critical to its success in future elections. With the postponement of the state congresses, the PDP has an opportunity to review its preparations and ensure that it is well-positioned for the challenges ahead.
