A faction of the Fresh Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which was believed to have gone into extinction, has set up a National Working Committee (NWC) to manage its affairs.
The new faction, which inaugurated its NWC in Abuja on Thursday, disclosed that it was not part of the Fresh PDP that rejoined the PDP following the election of the Uche Secondus-led NWC late 2017.
The Fresh PDP was formed in the heat of the crisis facing the party under Ali-Modu Sheriff.
According to The Punch, the interim national chairman of the faction, Mr. Obi – Nwosu Butches, addressed a press conference on Thursday where he promised that a national convention would soon be organised to elect substantive members of the NWC.
He said this would occur at the end of its membership registration.
Butches listed the group’s interim NWC members as Osukuade Sowemiko (deputy national chairman, South ), Alhaji Abubakar Muslim (deputy national chairman, North), Alhaji Gamawa Muhammad Ibrahim (secretary ), Rodney Odili – Obi (organising secretary); Ambassador Waziri Umar (financial secretary ), and Mr. Chidi Onwuekweikpe ( legal adviser ), among others.
