PRESS RELEASE

28/4/2020

APPROVAL OF NEW WARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND RECONSTITUTION OF ALL CURRENT EXCO MEMBERS INTO A CARE TAKER COMMITTEE AT ALL LEVELS IN KADUNA STATE.

On Thursday, 27th February, 2020, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Party approved time table and guidelines for staggered Congresses in 26 States of the Federation, including Kaduna State in batch 2.

Wards, Local Governments and State congresses were slated for 14/3/2020, 28/3/2020 and 11/4/2020 respectively.

The Wards congresses were held successfully on the 14/3/2020 under the supervision of the National Electoral Committee appointed and posted to the State under the Chairmanship of H.E Governor Fintiri of Adamawa State.

The NWC, sensing the likely hood of a nation lockdown due to the escalating spread of the Covid-19 virus, rescheduled the Local Govt and State congresses backwards for 21/3/2020 and 24/3/2020 respectively.

Unfortunately, on the 20/3/2020 the Kaduna State Govt imposed an indefinite 24hr curfew all over the State, thus putting a halt to the remaining congresses.

As the 4 year tenure of the current Excos draws to an end on 30/4/2020, 5/5/2020 and 10/5/2020 for Wards, Local Governments and State respectively, the NWC by its letter of 24/4/2020 addressed to the State Party, has approved the following :-

(i). The Ward Congresses and the results generated in the 255 Wards of the State

(ii) The Inuaguration of the newly elected Ward Officials on the expiration of the tenure of the current officials on 30/4/2020 and after the discharge of the Court Restraining Order currently in force.

( iii) The Reconstitution of the current Ward Excos in the 255 Wards into Care Taker Committees effective 30/4/2020 pending the discharge of the Court Restraining Order.

( iv) The Reconstitution of the Local Government Excos into Care Taker Committees effective 5/5/2020

( v) The Reconstitution of the State Exco into Care Taker Committee effective 10/5/2020.

(vi)Local Government and State CTC will remain in office until congresses are held but not beyond three (3) months.

The leaderships of the Party at all levels remain accessible to all its members and call for Support and Cooperation to uplift the Party to greater heights.

Party faithfuls are reminded to note that Consultations and Round Table discussions are the Hallmarks of successful Politiking.

The Party remains committed to these ideals and appeals to all its members to come on board for the growth, progress and success of the Party.

Irrespective of the political party, Kaduna state is good in party politics and blessed with a good governor. By the way, national spokesperson of PDP needs to be replaced, or he should listen to speeches, audio and utterances/ part propaganda of Lie Mohammed anytime PDP/Jonathan /FG was faced with any national issue like chibok girls, electricity and Niger delta and international issues. The office of PDP national spokesman is too docile and Nigerian youth are too scared to confront their leaders with the truth.
