A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olabode George, has vowed to attend the 100th National Executive Committee meeting scheduled for Monday (today).
According to Punch, there might be a major showdown at the meeting as party leaders are at odds, with rival factions planning to hold separate NEC and National Caucus meetings today in Abuja.
Speaking in an interview with the aforementioned publication, George stated that regardless of the name the meeting is called, he would attend, given the need for the party to move forward.
He said, “When we get there, we will sort ourselves out. Whether they call it NEC, leg or head meeting, the most important thing is that we are meeting tomorrow (today). We will face one another and tell ourselves the truth, without rancour.
“Let us gather first, call it whatever name. This is an opportunity for everyone to bare his or her mind. We will all be there, and I believe a decision on the way forward will be taken.
“I am set. I am already at the airport. I will be there. I won’t sit down here and allow people to destroy a party that was handed over to us by the founding fathers. One thing I am certain about is that the gathering will enable us resolve the crisis in the party.”
