The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared the purported composition and inauguration of unauthorized caretaker committees in the 27 local governments in Jigawa state as illegal, null and void.
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP has, consequently, called on all the party’s leaders, members and supporters in Jigawa state and the nation at large to disregard the purported caretaker committees as they do not have the mandate and approval of our party at any level.
The party said this in a statement yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja.
The NWC of the PDP has therefore directed the North West Zonal Working Committee of the party to, immediately, take charge and supervise the activities of the Jigawa state Caretaker Committee.
The Party urged all its members in Jigawa to remain calm and continue to work with the North West Zonal Working Committee as it coordinates the activities of the Jigawa State Caretaker Committee.
The statement reads in part, “The NWC hereby directs the North West Zonal Working Committee of our great party, to immediately take charge and supervise the activities of the Jigawa state Caretaker Committee.
“The NWC assures all members of our party in Jigawa and urged them to remain calm and continue to work with the North West Zonal Working Committee as it coordinates the activities of the Jigawa State Caretaker Committee”, it said.
