By Sunny Onyekwere – December 8, 2025
As the tenure of the present Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC) ends on Tuesday December 9, 2025, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike’s backed National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party has constituted a National Caretaker Committee to run the affairs of the party, pending the conduct of a national convention.
The 13-member Caretaker Committee has Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed as Chairman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as Secretary.
Other members of the Caretaker Committee are; National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), National Organising Secretary, Hon. Umar M. Bature, Dr Kyari Grema, Hon Janguda Haruna Mohammed, Barr. Okechukwu Osuana, Senator Nwogu Olaka, Senator Sandy Onor, Prof Adenike Ogunse, Hon. Bisi Kolawole, Engr Deji Doherty, and Dr Ibrahim Bala Aboki.
This decision was taken at the 104th NEC meeting of the party held in Abuja on Sunday December 7, 2025.
The Caretaker Committee has been mandated to run the affairs of the party for a period of 60 days, during which all pending congresses should be conducted and a national convention should be held.
Responding on behalf of the Committee, Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed, who described the development as a step in the right direction, as it will ensure there is no vacuum in the leaders of the party.
He therefore assured that the committee would work round the clock to ensure that things are in order ahead of its national convention at the expiration of the 60 days span
However, this development could widen the fierce leadership crisis rocking the nation’s main opposition party to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
