The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has indefinitely postponed the inauguration of the Edo State Governorship Election National Campaign Council, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, June 4, 2024.
Debo Ologunagba, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, made this announcement on Monday in Abuja. He explained that the postponement was necessitated by the ongoing industrial action initiated by Labour unions across the country.

Ologunagba stated that a new date for the inauguration would be announced in due course. “The PDP urges all members of the campaign council, party leaders, critical stakeholders, our teeming members, and supporters in Edo State and nationwide to persist in their unwavering efforts towards ensuring the success of our party and governorship candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, in the September 21, 2024, governorship election in Edo State,” he said.
The indefinite strike called by organized labour has significantly disrupted government and private sector operations in Abuja. Compliance with the strike directive issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), along with their affiliates, was nearly total in government ministries, departments, and agencies.
