The decision was announced on Tuesday in Abuja by the Caretaker Committee’s Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, following a meeting of the party’s National Working Committee. The caretaker committee is backed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Mohammed explained that the convention, earlier scheduled for March 28 and 29, was adjusted after further deliberations by the committee.
“There are certain decisions—major decisions that were reached, far-reaching decisions indeed. Part of the decisions reached from this Caretaker Committee meeting is the adjustment made as regards the date earlier released for the national convention,” he said.
“Recall that yesterday, during the NEC meeting, a date was announced for the national convention of the party, which was billed to hold on the 28th and 29th of March. However, after careful consideration of certain factors, the date has been slightly adjusted for the convention to take place on the 29th to the 30th of March.”
He also announced the dissolution of the North-West, South-West and Plateau State zonal committees, stating that caretaker committees would soon be appointed to oversee the affairs of the affected zones.
“Secondly, the NEC working committee has equally dissolved the North-West, South-West and Plateau State zonal committees. The zonal committees of the PDP will have a caretaker committee appointed soon. Furthermore, the timetable approved for the congresses in the states, zonal, and ward congresses will take effect as approved by the NEC,” Mohammed said.
On ongoing reconciliation efforts within the party, the publicity secretary noted that the caretaker committee is carrying out extensive consultations before unveiling the National Convention Planning Committee, with the aim of ensuring broad inclusiveness across the party.
