The factional National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has approved a Caretaker Committee for Zamfara State PDP, led by Hassan Muhammad Daudawa as Chairman.
This was contained in a public notice issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, and cited on the PDP’s official X handle on Monday.
The committee, which includes six other members, is tasked with running the party’s affairs in the state for 90 days or until a new executive is elected.
“Other members are Shehu S. Fulani Member, Rabiu Illele Bakura – Member, Musa Mallaha – Member, Sani Lasisi Kaura – Member, Hajiya Hauwa Kulu Makkah – Member, Muhammad Danbuba – Secretary,” the statement said.
The statement explained that ”the Caretaker Committee is charged with managing the party’s activities in Zamfara State in accordance with the provisions of Section 21(2)(a–b) of the party’s Constitution.”
The NWC urged party members in the state to give the caretaker committee their full cooperation to ensure stability and effective administration during the transition period.
The PDP’s caretaker committee for Zamfara State was formed amidst a backdrop of internal party conflicts and leadership disputes.
The previous committee was dissolved by the National Working Caretaker Committee, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed, as part of efforts to revamp the party’s structure in 13 states, including Zamfara.
This move follows the expulsion of several high-ranking party members, including Governors Seyi Makinde, Bala Mohammed, and Dauda Lawal, who were accused of anti-party activities and disobedience to court orders.
The Abdulrahman-led faction also ratified the dissolution of state executive councils in Bauchi, Oyo, Zamfara, Yobe, Lagos, Edo, and Ekiti.
