Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has been named chairman of a 7-man committee constituted by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ahead of its National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting scheduled for May 27, 2025.
The committee was constituted during the party stakeholders’ meeting held on Sunday night.
Other members included- Governors Dauda Lawal, Caleb Muftwang, and Peter Mbah of Zamfara, Plateau and Enugu States, respectively.
Others are Sen. Seriake Dickson, Sen. Ibrahim Dankwambo, and former governor of Abia State, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu.
This was confirmed by Saraki who described the meeting outcome as "fruitful."
Saraki said the forum had a fruitful deliberation on the party's current challenges and future.
The stakeholders and members of the PDP National Executive Committee had met at the Bauchi Lodge in Abuja.
He wrote on his social media handle: "I just left a meeting of the PDP Governors Forum, attended by its serving and former governors, at the Bauchi Governor’s Lodge. We had a fruitful deliberation on the party's present challenges and its future.
"The meeting was well attended. As part of the decisions taken to chart a way forward, the meeting set up a seven-man committee charged with preparing for a rancour-free NEC meeting scheduled for May 27th and the forthcoming national convention.
"The committee is headed by my humble self, and I will have the pleasure of working with my brothers - HE Dauda Lawal, HE Caleb Muftwang, and HE Peter Mba, governors of Zamfara, Plateau and Enugu States respectively.
"Other members are Sen. Seriake Dickson, Sen. Ibrahim Dankwambo, and former governor of Abia State, HE, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu.
"We hope to do our best in delivering on the assignment given to us."
It is widely believed that the outcome of the NEC meeting will shape the future of the PDP, which is being drowned by defections to the All Progressives Congress, (APC), by its key members.
