The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has approved the appointment of caretaker committees for the party’s chapters in Enugu, Delta, and Rivers States.
The approval, made on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC), is in accordance with Section 29(2)(b) of the PDP Constitution (2025 as amended).
The announcement was issued by the National Organizing Secretary, Theophilus Dakas Shan.
According to the statement, the committees will oversee party affairs in their respective states for a period not exceeding 90 days or until new executive committees are elected.
“The Committees are expected to function strictly in line with the PDP Constitution (2025 as amended), the Electoral Act 2022, and the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Shan said.
The reconstitution of the party structures follows the defection of the governors of the affected states to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The latest to defect is Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, who on Friday received his APC membership card from the state chairman, Tony Okocha.
Fubara confirmed that he was issued Card Number 001, formally establishing him as the leader of the APC in the state.
