He said, “The NWC is expecting a report of the performance of the party in the 2023 election from the Presidential Campaign Council. It is after this report comes to the NWC that we will study it and call for an NEC meeting.”

Also speaking, a member of NWC and Deputy National Youth Leader of the party, Timothy Osadolor, said Anyanwu was right about the performance report.

Osadolor stressed that the presidential campaign council needed to submit a document that would be deliberated upon at the NEC meeting.
