The funeral is scheduled to take place from November 27th to 29th, 2024.
The statement notice read: “At its meeting of Wednesday, the attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) was drawn to the programme of events of the funeral ceremony of Mrs. Eno, which coincide with the scheduled dates of activities for the 99th NEC meeting.
“After due consideration, the NWC, recognising the need for party leaders to commiserate with Governor Eno, hereby notify NEC members that the 99th NEC meeting will now be held on a date that will be communicated to members in due course.”
“All NEC Members should please note the change of date and be guided accordingly. The NWC sincerely regrets inconvenience this change of date will cause distinguished members of NEC.”
