In a statement released on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP NWC urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, security agencies, and the public to reject any opposing claims regarding the leadership of its Edo State chapter. The PDP NWC confirmed that Tony Aziegbemi’s Caretaker Committee is in charge of its Edo State chapter. Remember that the crisis within the PDP’s state chapter recently worsened due to opposition from some party members to the Aziegbemi-led Caretaker Committee.Part of the statement said, “The Peoples Democratic Party’s National Working Committee has been alerted to a public distortion regarding the leadership situation of our party’s Edo State branch.
“For emphasis and avoidance of doubt, the NWC states that the Edo State chapter of the PDP is under the leadership of Hon. Tony Aziegbemi-led Caretaker Committee.
“For clarity, the NWC at its meeting of 6th of February, 2025 and pursuant to its powers under the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) constituted the Tony Aziegbemi-led Caretaker Committee to pilot the affairs of the party in the state for a period of 90 days effective from February 6, 2025.
“Party members, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, the media and the general public should therefore disregard any contrary claim on the leadership of the Edo State chapter of the PDP.”
