Makarfi summons PDP stakeholders’ meeting after Appeal Court judgment

CHAIRMAN of the National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has called a meeting of stakeholders of the party to discuss the decision of the Appeal Court which went against his leadership.

The Port Harcourt Division of the court had on Friday annulled the May 21, 2016 national convention which had given birth to the caretaker committee while revalidating the position of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and the National Chairman of the party.

Stunned by the decision, Makarfi has now summoned the meeting expected to deliberate on the next course of action by his group.

The meeting has been scheduled for Monday for 2pm at the International Conference Centre (ICC) Abuja.

According to the notice of the meeting, those invited to the meeting are members of the National Executive Committee (NEC), members of the Board of Trustees (BoT), National Assembly members, former governors of PDP, former ministers under the platform of the PDP, former National Assembly members and party elders.

The notice signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the committee, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, said all invited to the meeting to attend “unfailingly as crucial party matters will be discussed.”
