Following what it considered the successful conduct of its Kano State congress in the 44
local government areas of the state on December 12, 2020, the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has upheld the election of a new executive committee for the state chapter.
A statement on Thursday by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the decision of the NWC was pursuant to its powers under the PDP Constitution (2017 as amended).
Ologbondiya added: “The NWC is pleased to report that the congress was smoothly conducted in strict compliance with the guidelines and provisions of the PDP constitution (2017 as amended) and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“Also as reported by the Appeals Committee, there was no petition received thereby confirming the congress as conducted and all elected officers therefrom.
“The newly elected Kano executive which has Shehu Wada Sagagi, as Chairman is to hold office for a period of four years in line with the provisions of the PDP Constitution.
“The NWC commends all critical stakeholders as well as members of our party in Kano state for the unity and harmony in the state chapter and urged them to remain united and continue to work together for the task ahead, especially as Nigerians now look up to our party for direction at this critical time in the history of our nation.”
