The emergency National Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party has started in Abuja.

Our correspondent report that  the meeting, which was initially fixed for noon, was delayed because of the trip of members of the National Working Committee to Rivers State.

The trip to Rivers State was meant to show solidarity with Governor Nyesom Wike over the issues of his re-election.

Prince Uche Secondus, National Chairman of the PDP, led the NWC delegation to the state.

He is currently presiding over the party’s NEC meeting, which is also being attended by the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki; and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.

Details shortly…
