By Lateef Ibrahim Abuja
The court recognized National Working Caretaker Committee (NCWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, under the National Chairmandhip of Alhaji Abdulrahman Mohammed has dissolved the North-West, South-West, and Plateau State zonal committees of the party.
Rising from a meeting on Tuesday in Abuja, the NCWC of the PDP equally announced a slight adjustment in the date for its National convention.
The National Publicity Secretary of the NCWC of the PDP, which is backed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike, Mr Haruna Mohammed announced these while speaking with journalists at the end of the meeting.
He stated that the dissolved zonal committees of the PDP will have caretaker committees appointed for them soon.
The party’s national convention, according to Haruna Mohammed, will now hold on the 29th and the 30th of March, this year, as against the earlier date of 28th–29th of March, this year.
According to him, “A meeting of the NCWC was held today (Tuesday) and coming out from this meeting, there are certain decisions, major decisions, that were reached, far-reaching decisions indeed.
“And part of the decisions reached from this Caretaker Committee meeting is the adjustment made as regards the date earlier released for the national convention.
“Recall that yesterday (Monday), 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, instead of the earlier 28th–29th of March.
“Secondly, the NC working committee has equally dissolved the North-West, South-West, and Plateau State Zonal Committees. The zonal committees of the PDP will have caretaker committees appointed soon.
“Furthermore, the timetable approved for the congresses in the states, zonal, and ward congresses will take effect as approved by NEC.
“The National Caretaker Working Committee will consult widely before the announcement of the National Convention Planning Committee.
“These are the resolutions, or these are major decisions that have been reached after today’s National Caretaker Working Committee meeting”, he concluded.
