The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has chosen Abuja as the venue for its national convention.
The decision was reached at the party’s 92nd National Executive Committee meeting which was presided over by acting National Chairman, Elder Yemi Akinwonmi on Saturday.
The NEC also agreed to reconvene in September.
Main opposition party PDP has recently been hit by multiple defections as some embittered members call for the resignation of Uche Secondus as National Chairman.
The embattled National Chairman has been accused of having “no clear road map, blue print or policy programme for the PDP.”
At least two court judgements have asked Secondus to step aside as party chief while a court judgement obtained in Kebbi said he could continue in the role.
Secondus was absent at Saturday’s NEC meeting.
