PDP sets up Edo ward caretaker committees 

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has approved the composition of the Edo State Ward Caretaker Committees to function for a period of 30 days effective Thursday, February 1, 2024.

A statement issued by Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary, explained that it is pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017).

It said the decision of the NWC is predicated on the expiration of the tenure of the Edo State Ward Executive Committees February 1, 2024.

“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 statement added. 

The NWC enjoined 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 PDP in the state.
