The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will on Thursday inaugurate the South South Zonal Caretaker Committee on Thursday, March 13, 2025 at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
According to the PDP national publicity secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the South South Zonal Caretaker Committee assumed office on Monday, March 10, 2025 following expiration of the tenure of the South South Zonal Executive on Sunday, March 9, 2025.
Members of the caretaker committee are Chief Emmanuel Ogidi (Chairman); Hon. Nicholas Ayuwa; Barr. Godwin Akpan Udonta; Mrs. Bekewei Ashanti; Idehen Ebomoyi; Dame Vivian Ahanmisi; Chief Damiete Herbert-Miller (Secretary) and Dr. Chris Uduoaka (Administrative Secretary).
Meanwhile, the Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has called on all PDP members to remain calm as they await the final verdict of the Supreme Court on the case of the National Secretary of the party.
The Conference however noted that the Supreme Court dismissed the Application filed by Senator Samuel Anyanwu to Stay the Execution of the declaratory Judgement of the Court of Appeal which on December 20, 2024, removed Senator Anyanwu and replaced with Hon. S.K.E Ude Okoye as the PDP national secretary.
Protem National Coordinator CP-PDP, Barr. Obinna Nwachukwu, said the dismissal of the Application by the Supreme Court has further elucidated and affirmed that a declaratory judgement of a Court of competent jurisdiction cannot be stayed under the Nigerian jurisprudence.
“The import of today’s outcome from the Supreme Court is that the December 20, 2024, judgment of the Court of Appeal which removed and replaced Senator Anyanwu with Hon. S.K.E Ude Okoye as the National Secretary of the PDP subsists.
“As a body of professionals, the Conference calls on Party members to remain law-abiding and guided by the spirit of sportsmanship as we join forces to strengthen and reposition our party for the task ahead,” the body said.
