PDP Set To Inaugurate South South Zonal Caretaker Committee Amidst Controversy
•By Admin
ABUJA – The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in pursuant to its powers under the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) formally inaugurate the South South Zonal Caretaker Committee of our great Party on Thursday.
Recall that the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, Dan Orbih and other loyalists to Wike had kicked against the caretaker committee, on the excuse that a zonal congress had already be conducted in Cross River State where Orbih emerged as the Chairman of the zone.
They had even told members of the caretaker committee set up by the party not to listen to the PDP and should not bother with the position.
PDP, has, however, ignored the complaint of Wike and others and set up a caretaker committee, which will be inaugurated on Thursday
The Committee inauguration is billed to hold at the National Executive Committee (NEC) Hall, PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.
