The party disclosed this, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Thursday in Abuja.
Ologunagba said that the attention of the PDP national leadership had been drawn to activities of certain individuals parading themselves as the executives of the Edo Chapter of the PDP.
He said that the NWC was inform that the individuals were illegally arrogating offices to themselves, issuing unauthorised directives, attempting to convene meetings, among others, which were inimical to the stability of PDP in the state.
“The PDP states in clear terms that the Edo State Chapter is presently being run by a 10-member Caretaker Committee with Aziegbemi as Chairman and Henry Tenebe as Secretary,’’ he said.
Ologunagba said that the caretaker committee was duly appointed by the NWC.
He said that was done in pursuant to Section 29 (2)(b) of the PDP Constitution to pilot the affairs of the chapter, pending the election of a new state executive.
He listed the members of the committee to include Harrison Omagbon, Fidel Igenegbale, Chris Nehikhare, Tony Anenih Jnr., Bishop Anthony Okosun, Segun Saiki, Adezat Ibrahim, and Augustine Edosomwan.
“The PDP cautions that any other persons illegally parading themselves as the PDP executive in Edo State will be treated as impostors as the Party has not elected a new Exco for the Edo State Chapter.
“Moreover the arty will not hesitate to take decisive disciplinary action against any person acting in defiance of the clear provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017),’’ he said.
Ologunagba urged all PDP leaders and supporters in Edo to remain united; at alert and continue to work with the caretaker committee in the overall interest of the party and the people.(NAN)
