Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Benue State Elders Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has asked the Damagun-led National Working Committee, NWC, to immediately shelve the idea of conducting State Congress of the party in Makurdi today, Thursday, October 3.<\/p>\n

They described the purported scheduled State Congress as one of the many attempts by the NWC to divide the party in Benue for selfish gain which must be resisted by all legal standards.<\/p>\n

According to the PDP Elders Committee, a Makurdi High Court had issued the order in suit number MCH\/350\/2024 with motion Number MCH\/1588M\/2024, which stopped the Congresses pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice which has not been heard.<\/p>\n

The Elders Committee led by its Leader, Rt. Hon. Terngu Tsegba explained that the purported State Congress scheduled for October 3, 2024, should not be allowed to hold.<\/p>\n

They called on all law-abiding members of the party to disregard the announcement of a state Congress by the NWC as it was a clear violation of the court order.<\/p>\n

The Elders also called on the INEC to take note of the infringement by the PDP NWC and stay clear of the illegal event.<\/p>\n
