PDP constitutes Caretaker Committee in Ebonyi

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has constituted a Caretaker Committee in Ebonyi State to superintend the activities of the party in the state. The party appointed the caretaker committee following the dissolution of the Ebonyi State Exco by the National Working Committee (NWC) on Tuesday after the defection of Governor Dave Umahi to the All Progressives Converges (APC).

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday declared that the constitution of a caretaker committee in Ebonyi is in line with the provisions of the constitution of the PDP.

The statement indicated that members of the Ebonyi State Caretaker Committee include:

1. Hon. Fred Udeogu    – Chairman
2. Barr. Luke Nkwegu – Secretary
3. Dr. Gideon Osi         – Publicity Secretary
4. Hon. James Alaka – Organizing Secretary
5. Mrs. Amaka Igboke – Women Leader
6. Barr Mudi Irenede – Legal Adviser
7. Barr. Ibeshi          – Youth Leader

“The decision of the NWC in this regard is pursuant to the powers conferred on it by the provisions of the PDP Constitution (2017 as amended).

“All our leaders, members and teeming supporters in Ebonyi state and the southeast are by this guided accordingly,” National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan declared.

The PDP subsequently expanded the Ebonyi State Caretaker Committee.

Again, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in another statement disclosed that the National Working Committee (NWC) approved the expansion of the newly constituted Ebonyi State caretaker committee.

He indicated that the additional members of the Ebonyi State Caretaker Committee include Barr. James Onah-
Assistant Secretary and Mr. Monday Chukwu, Treasurer.

“All our leaders, members and teeming supporters in Ebonyi state and the southeast are by this further guided accordingly,” he declared.
