The National Caretaker Committee (NCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appointed Hon. Dave Iorhemba, a former National Legal Adviser of the party as Deputy National Secretary.
In a statement issued yesterday by its spokesman, Dayo Adeyeye, PDP said the decision was without prejudice to the earlier position being held by Iorhemba as the Legal Adviser
The party said: “In view of the fact that the National Caretaker Committee (NCC) is no longer too pressured with legal matters since the Supreme Court judgment of July 12, 2017, that led the PDP to victory but instead, requires extra hand in the running of administration ahead of the forthcoming Electoral National Convention.”
The statement read: “In view of the above, Iorhemba has been re-assigned to serve as the Deputy National Secretary with effect from September 28, 2017. Also, the National Chairman of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has appointed the immediate past National Legal Adviser, Kwon Victor, as his Special Adviser (Legal Affairs).”
The party said the clarification became necessary to correct misconceptions and contradictory narratives in some sections of the media.
“The PDP is one big family and every member is enjoined to participate in the rebuilding and repositioning processes to move our great party forward.”
