PDP reinstalls Makarfi-led committee, extends tenure to one year

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Wednesday renewed the tenure of the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee for a period that will last twelve months, even as it enlarged the membership of the committee to thirteen from the earlier six.
This decision was taken at its controversial convention which held at the PDP Secretariat along Aba road.

However, election into national offices of the party was suspended by the Convention Committee led by Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike.


DAILY POST reports that the motion for the renewal of the mandate of the Makarfi committee to steer the affairs of the party was moved by the Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Ike Ekweremadu.

In his acceptance speech, Makarfi promised to “sustain efforts in rebuilding, reuniting the lost glory of the party.”
