The NWC in a statement signed by Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP National Publicity Secretary on Wednesday, stated that a new date would be announced for the state congress in due course.

It added that the party at the meeting also considered the report of the PDP Post-Election Review Committee led by Sen. Ike Ekweremadu and the general state of the party.

The statement said that the NWC commended the Ekweremadu-led committee for successful review of the performance of the party in the 2015 general elections.

"We also commended the committee's recommendations for effective rebuilding of the party to regain its preeminent position in national politics.

"The NWC accepts the report of the Post-Election Review Committee in good faith, including the noted mistakes and lapses of successive leadership organs of the party therein," it said.

The statement also noted that the NWC had resolved that the report and recommendations of the committee would first be tabled before the National Caucus of the party on Tuesday, Oct. 13.

It stated that the decision was to kick-start the onward consideration thereof.

"The NWC affirms that the rebuilding process, which began with the inauguration of the Sen. Ekweremadu-led Committee, is very much on course," the statement said.
