The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has inaugurated party caretaker committee for each of the 21 local government areas in Adamawa State.
Members of the new temporary leaderships at the local government level include a chairman, a secretary and three ex-officials for each of the local council areas.
The new leadership, assembled by appointment, are tasked with handling the affairs of the party before the conduct of elections as enshrined in the PDP constitution.
Administering the oath of office on the interim officials, a legal practitioner picked for the assignment, John Tunoh charged the interim committee members to adhere to the provisions of the PDP and national constitutions.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony in Yola, the state interim PDP chairman, Belmont Dogo told the new leaders that the strength of any political party lies in its structure at the grassroots.
“As local government caretaker committee members, you represent the engine room of the party in your respective areas,” he said, adding, “It is your responsibility to help reposition the party, rebuild confidence among our members, and prepare the ground for future successes.”
Responding on behalf of the caretaker committee members, the caretaker chairman of Fufore Local Government Area, Inuwa Umar, pledged to contribute to the growth of the party.
DAILY POST reports that the PDP in Adamawa State needs new strategy after most notable members left its fold, especially after Governor Ahmadu Fintiri led the way last month, February 27, when he officially announced his defection from the party.
Fintiri, including all his commissioners, special advisers and other appointees as well as PDP members in the national and state House of Assembly are now in the All Progressives Congress, APC.
