Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has been appointed as chairman of a special committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to chart a way forward for the party ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The decision was taken at a meeting of incumbent and former PDP Governors in Abuja on Sunday night.
Disclosing the development on his Facebook page shortly after the meeting, Saraki, a former two-time governor of Kwara State, said as part of the decisions taken to chart a way forward, the meeting set up a seven-man committee charged with preparing for a rancour-free National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for May 27 and the forthcoming national convention.
Saraki wrote: “I just left a meeting of the PDP Governors Forum, attended by its serving and former governors, at the Bauchi Governor’s Lodge. We had a fruitful deliberation on the party’s present challenges and its future. The meeting was well attended.
“As part of the decisions taken to chart a way forward, the meeting set up a seven-man committee charged with preparing for a rancour-free NEC meeting scheduled for May 27th and the forthcoming national convention. The committee is headed by my humble self, and I will have the pleasure of working with my brothers – HE Dauda Lawal, HE Caleb Muftiwang, and HE Peter Mba, governors of Zamfara, Plateau and Enugu States respectively. Other members are Sen. Seriake Dickson, Sen. Ibrahim Dankwambo, and forner governor of Abia State, HE, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu. We hope to do our best in delivering on the assignment given to us.”
