PDP Suspends Planned Congresses, Rallies, Other Events As Measures To Combat COVID-19

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has further resolved to suspend all activities bordering on congresses, rallies and other large gathering of members of the party across the federation, with effect from Tuesday.

BIGPEN understands PDP had earlier in the day announced shutdown of activities at its national secretariat and offices across the country.

This decision has become imperative in respect to the need for continuous social distancing and other health safety measures against the spread of COVID-19 in our country, Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary of the party said in a statement on Monday.

The PDP enjoins the Federal Government to continue to review situations as they concern the fight against the spread of COVID-19 and take measures, even if stringent, to safeguard lives, the statement further reads.
