Julius Akinsola, the newly appointed Chairman of the Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said that the committee would focus on strengthening the chapter and solidifying its unity despite all odds.
A statement by the PDP’s National Organising Secretary, retired Col. Austin Akobundu, said the PDP’s National Working Committee (NWC) appointed Akinsola as the Chairman of the Committee.
He said the National Working Committee of the party announced on November 17 that a Caretaker Committee would be formed after the elective state congress was cancelled in October. The Caretaker Committee will lead the party’s affairs until February 2022, Oyede said.
Among the other members of the committee who were sworn in were: Ade Adeniyi as secretary, Ademola Oyede as publicity secretary and Babs Akinlolu as legal adviser.
Additionally, Alhaji Nuru Abiodun Lawal was inaugurated as the Youth Leader; Alhaja Nourat Atinuke Babs-Olorunkemi was inaugurated as the Women Leader; Ganiyu Alani Ige was inaugurated as the Organizing Secretary, Mrs Olabisi Odunsi as the Financial Secretary and Alhaji Bode Oladeinde as the Treasurer.
“This Committee will hit the ground running to strengthen existing party structures and solidify the unity within the party in the state. Plans are already in full swing to ensure there is a successful state congress where permanent party officials will be elected,” Akinsola maintained.
