Ahead of the primary ballot for the Edo Governorship election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has set up Ward Caretaker Committees effective February 1.
This is sequel to the expiration of the tenure of the existing Ward Committees.
National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba in a terse post on X on Thursday morning, explained that the Ward Caretaker Committees have been given 30 days only to enable them perform their duties and to avoid creating any vacuum.
The full statement reads:
PDP Sets Up Edo State Ward Caretaker Committees
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has, pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) approved the composition of the Edo State Ward Caretaker Committees to function for a period of 30 days effective today, February 1, 2024.
The decision of the NWC is predicated on the expiration of the tenure of the Edo State Ward Executive Committees today.
Consequently, the NWC has approved the appointment of the out-going Edo State Ward Executive Committees to function as Ward Caretaker Committees for a period of 30 days so as to avoid any vacuum in this very important organ of the Party in Edo State.
The NWC enjoins all Party leaders, critical stakeholders and members of the PDP in Edo State to be guided by this and continue to work together in the overall interest of the Party in the State.
Signed:
Hon. Debo Ologunagba
