The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has approved the timetable and schedule of activities
for the year 2021 party congresses in nine states.
In a statement on Thursday by Kola Ologbondiyan, the
National Publicity Secretary of the party, “Congresses have been scheduled to
be conducted in Lagos, Oyo, Adamawa, Kebbi, Borno, Kogi, Osun, Kwara and Ebonyi
states respectively.
“In the case of Lagos, Oyo, Adamawa, Kebbi, Borno, Kogi,
Osun and Kwara states, the tenure of the Excos by Section 47(1) of the PDP
Constitution (as amended) would be expiring, having been elected in 2017.
“For clarity, in Kogi state congresses are to hold only in
Wards and Local Governments, while in Osun, congresses are to hold in some
respective wards only”
“However, in the case of Ebonyi, congress would be conducted
to elect new EXCOs following the dissolution of the state structure due to
political realignments occasioned by the defection of the state governors and
others to another party.
“According to the timetable, the sale of nomination forms,
including ad-hoc delegates forms has been scheduled for July 26 to August 27,
2021, while the last day for the submission of forms has been fixed for
September 6, 2021. The sale of all forms are from the National Secretariat.
“By the timetable, Ward Congresses to elect Ward Excos and
three ad-hoc delegates have been scheduled for Saturday, September 25, Local
Government Congresses to elect Local Government Excos and National Delegates
have been fixed for Tuesday, October 5, 2021, while the State Congresses have
been scheduled for Saturday, October 16, 2021.
“The NWC urges all members of the party and teeming
supporters across the country, particularly in the affected states, to be
guided by the official timetable and schedule of events and disregard any other
document reported to have being earlier circulated by unauthorized persons.”
