The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday announced the immediate suspension of all activities bordering on congresses, rallies and other large gathering of party members across the federation.

“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.

“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,” PDP National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan said in a statement.

The party had earlier decided to shut down activities at its secretariats and offices across the country.
