The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national working committee has extended the tenure of the party’s executive members in Nasarawa state for three months .
The erstwhile state PDP chairman, Hon. Francis Orogu is now designated as Chairman Nasarawa State PDP Caretaker Committee.
Hon. Orogu confirmed to daybreak news, in a letter received from the national executives to that effect from the Abuja national headquarters, stating that the reason was to avoid a vacuum since the Nasarawa chapter was yet to conclude its state congress election and the current Exco tenure was about to elapse.
Daybreak news leant that 22 other state chapters in similar positions enjoyed the same extension as did the six national vice chairmen and zonal working committee members whose tenures expired on May 14.
It would be recalled that Nasarawa state PDP like its 22 other counterparts was preparing for its state congress when the coronavirus pandemic forced a suspension of all PDP Congresses and meeting at both national and local levels.
However, earlier before now aggrieved members of the party had faulted the ward and local government congresses, alleging that it did not hold in some wards and did not follow the party’s guidelines.
