The new caretaker committee will oversee the affairs of the PDP in Akwa Ibom State for a period not exceeding three months or until a fresh State Executive Committee is elected.
Naijaonpoint understands that the caretaker committee is chaired by Igwat Umoren, with Harrison Ekpo as Deputy Chairman, Borono Bassey as Secretary, and Ewa Okpo (Esq.) as Publicity Secretary.
Other key members include Emman Mbong (Organising Secretary), Aniekan Asuquo (Youth Leader), Mary Silvia Abara (Woman Leader), and Enoch Enoch (Esq.) as Legal Adviser.
Also appointed are Aniebiet Cornelius, Udim Peters, Ayanime Obot, Ofon Michael, Esther Bassey Effiong, David Umanah, Usenmfon Ibanga, and Unwana Assam, among others.
Ologunagba urged members of the party in the state to close ranks and work for the collective interest of the PDP.
“The NWC calls on all leaders, critical stakeholders and teeming members of our Party in Akwa Ibom State to remain united and continue to work together for the progress of the Party,” he said.
