The National Working Committee (NWC) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has dissolved the state, local government and ward executive committees in Kano State with immediate effect.
In a statement by its spokesman Debo Ologunagba, the party announced this in Abuja on Tuesday.
Mr Ologunagba said the decision was taken following the recent developments in the Kano state chapter of the party, the NWC, after careful deliberations and extensive consultations.
He explained that the NWC took the decision on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC) and pursuant to Sections 29(2)(b) and 31(2) constitution of the party.
“In their place, the NWC has approved the appointment of the Kano State Caretaker Committee to run the affairs of the Party in the State for a period of 90 (ninety) days beginning from today, March 29, pursuant to Section 24(2) of the PDP Constitution 2017 (as amended),” said the statement.
Mr Ologunagba listed members of the caretaker committee as Ibrahim Atta as chairman, Ibrahim Dan’Iy, Ladidi Dangalan, Aminu Jungau, Mukhtar Janguza and Abdullahi Sulaiman as members, while Baba Lawan would serve as secretary.
“The PDP urges all leaders, critical stakeholders and teeming members of our party in Kano State to remain united and focused on the task ahead,” he said.
