Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is to meet with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta on Saturday.

National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, made this known in Abeokuta while addressing journalists after a meeting between the executive members of the party in Ogun and the PDP NWC.

The Chairman, who described Obasanjo as a “warrior” who had fought many battles, explained that the consultation had become necessary to get direction from the former president and tap from his wealth of experience.

Secondus gave assurance that the party would win the Saturday governorship election in Ekiti state.

The PDP chairman, who alleged that there were plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to take Ekiti state by force, said ”no amount of intimidation can subvert the will of the people.”
