The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appointed Chief Ali Odefa as Chairman of the reconstituted South East Zonal Caretaker Committee of the party.
The NWC also named Hon. Laz Ogbee as Auditor of the South East Zonal Caretaker Committee of the party.
In a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiya said the action of the NWC is pursuant to Sections 29 (2)(b) and 31(2)(e) of the PDP Constitution (2017 as amended).
The reconstituted South East Zonal Caretaker Committee is to pilot the affairs of the party in the South East Zone for a period not exceeding three months (90) days as prescribed by section 32(2)(e) of the PDP Constitution.
“The NWC enjoins all members of our great party in the South-East zone to continue to work together in harmony for the task ahead, especially at this time our nation looks up to our great party for solution and direction.
Meanwhile, the NWC also inaugurated the Ebonyi State caretaker committee officers of the party headed by Elder Fred Udeogu.
It was said that Umahi and Odefa fail apart when he (the governor) decided to recommend his immediate younger brother, Austin Umahi for the position of PDP Deputy National Vice Chairman, the same position Odefa was eyeing.
