“Secondly, the NEC working committee has equally dissolved the North-West, South-West, and Plateau State Zonal Committees. The zonal committees of the PDP will have a caretaker committee appointed soon.

“Furthermore, the timetable approved for the congresses in the states, zonal, and ward congresses will take effect as approved by the NEC.

“The National Caretaker Working Committee will consult widely before the announcement of the National Convention Planning Committee. These are the resolutions, or these are major decisions that have been reached after today’s National Caretaker Working Committee meeting.”

In the timetable signed by the National Organising Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, Hon. Umar Bature, while the Zonal Congress will be conducted on March 21, the State Congress will be held on March 14, Local Government Congresses on March 7, Ward Congress holds March 3, 2026.
