Channels Tv
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria has summoned an emergency meeting of its national caucus to discuss what it calls “onslaught against the party and its candidates in the last general elections, by the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government”.
In a statement on Monday, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said the caucus would meet on Thursday, October 29.
He said talks would focus on “the unrelenting schemes by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Federal Government to use some unpatriotic elements in the judiciary to advance their plot to take over states won by the PDP, particularly Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Taraba and Abia states”.
“The national caucus meeting is in furtherance of the decision of the leadership of the party to fully activate its structures in stiff resistance to the manipulations, coercions and threats of the APC-led government, and in line with the unbending determination by the party not to, in any way whatsoever surrender any mandate freely given it to
by the people at any level across the country, no matter the pressure,” the statement further read.
