The Peoples Democratic Party has constituted a National Caretaker Committee following the expiration of the tenure of its current National Working Committee on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
The decision was taken by the party’s National Executive Committee at its 104th meeting held in Abuja on Sunday, December 7, 2025. The move is aimed at ensuring continuity in the management of the party’s affairs pending the conduct of a national convention.
The 13-member Caretaker Committee is chaired by Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed, with Senator Samuel Anyanwu appointed as Secretary.
Other members of the committee include the National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), the 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.
The Caretaker Committee has been given a 60-day mandate to oversee the affairs of the party. During this period, it is expected to conduct all outstanding congresses and organise a national convention to elect a new substantive National Working Committee.
The development comes at a critical time for the PDP as it seeks to stabilise its internal structures and reposition itself ahead of future electoral contests, following the completion of the statutory tenure of its current national leadership.
