The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has approved a unified campaign structure across the country for the 2023 general elections, noting that the party will focus more on the grass root.
The decision was reached after the 97th National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party Thursday evening,
Addressing journalists after the meeting at the PDP headquarters, National Publicity Secretary of the party Debo Ologunagba said NEC also approved the proposed Structure and Organogram of the National Campaign Council as well as the National Campaign Management Council for the 2023 general elections.
Ologunagba also condemned the Federal Government for the handling of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
He further condemned in “strongest terms the appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari of card-carrying members of the APC as INEC Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs),” adding that the PDP “demands that President Buhari immediately withdraws the APC members nominated as RECs, failure of which has the capacity to trigger serious political crisis that can threaten the 2023 general elections and derail our democratic process.”
On the campaign structure he said, “NEC unanimously empowered the NWC to modify and adjust the structures of the campaign councils as and when the need arises.
“NEC received and approved the proposed structure for Zonal Reconciliation Committees to be set up to ensure that our Party presents a common front ahead of the 2023 general elections.
“NEC also received and approved the composition of the Manifesto Review Committee to review the Manifesto of the PDP ahead of the 2023 general elections.”
