PDP Dissolves Kano Exco

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday dissolved the executive committee of the Kano State chapter of the party and constituted a caretaker committee to run its affairs.

The dissolution came shortly after the party’s leadership received Mohammed, son of the late head of state, General Sani Abacha back into the PDP. Alhaji Alhassan Kafayos was named chairman of the caretaker committee, while Mr. Andrew Musa was appointed secretary.

They were immediately sworn-in by the party’s National Legal Adviser, Mr. Victor Kwom. The National Organising Secretary of the PDP, Abubakar Mustapha, who unveiled the committee, said other members of the committee would be appointed in Kano during the week.

Speaking at the inauguration, the National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, said the tenure of the dissolved exco had expired on August 15 and that there was need for a caretaker committee.

According to him, the party observed the rules and provision of its constitution in setting up the caretaker committee. Tukur charged the committee members to ensure that they address grievances among members in Kano, with the view to addressing them.

He charged them to ensure that the party wins the Kano governorship election in 2015. Abacha said he joined the PDP in 2010 and left the party to join the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) the same year.

He again left the CPC in the same year 2010, owing to what he described as lack of internal democracy in the party.
