THE North-west, South-West and North-Central zonal congresses of the Peoples Democratic Party has been scheduled for April 10, 2020.
The PDP informed the Independent National Electoral Commission about the dates, in a letter dated March 31, 2021, signed by its National Chairman, Uche Secondus, and National Secretary, Umaru Ibrahim Tsauri.
According to the letter, with reference number: PDP/DOM/GF.2/VOL.IA/21-031, addressed to the Chairman of INEC, the South-west zonal congress will hold in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, while the congresses for North-west and North-central will hold in Kaduna and Makurdi, respectively.
The letter said, before the new date was fixed, the PDP had earlier written to notify the Commission of the initial suspension of the congresses.
“Please note that all our party activities shall be in accordance with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) guidelines on COVID-19 as they concern social/physical distancing of people gathering in one place. While thanking you for your usual cooperation, please accept the assurance of our highest regards,” the party said.
