The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has put in place 15 sub-committees to prepare ground ahead of its national convention slated for October.
Chairman of the convention planning committee and Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, inaugurated the subcommittees on Thursday in Abuja.
Over 6,000 delegates, according to him, are expected to converge in Abuja to elect a new National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
The Fintiri- led National Convention Organising Committee was inaugurated last week, with the mandate to put in place a credible convention.
“We are expecting over 6, 000 delegates by our new constitution and we are fully prepared for that. We’re expecting everybody in every ward that is a delegate to attend the convention,” he noted.
The sub-committees include Special Duties, headed by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike; Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta State Governor (accreditation); former IGP Solomon Arase (security), while Fintiri himself is to head Electoral (statutory) sub-committee.
Others include Godwin Obaseki (publicity), Bala Mohammed (venue), Mariya Waziri (welfare and entertainment), Ibrahim Dankwambo (transportation), Biodun Olujimi (protocol), Nuhu (medical) and Ibrahim Tsauri (secretariat).
