Meanwhile, a high-ranking source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to lack of authorisation to comment on the matter, confirmed to The PUNCH that the NWC meeting will address the defection of party members to the All Progressives Congress and explore ways to prevent further defections.
Setonji Koshoedo, the acting Secretary appointed by PDP Governors, confirmed that the National Working Committee meeting will take place in Abuja on Tuesday.
