The head of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has inaugurated the National Convention Committee.

The committee has the responsibility of planning Saturday’s national convention to elect new officials to lead the party.

The chairman of the convention committee, Ifeanyi Okowa, said at the event that officers of the party will emerge through a transparent, peaceful and blameless process.

Mr. Okowa, Governor of Delta State, commended Mr. Makarfi, members of the committee and members of the Board of Trustees of the party for finding him, members of his committee, chairmen and members of sub-committees for the convention fit to serve the party and Nigerians in that capacity.

“I am confident that we are going to carry out our assignment in such a manner that our people will be happy. We will ensure that the election process is transparent, a convention that is peaceful, reconciliatory and blameless,” Mr. Okowa said.

Mr. Makarfi had in his speech said the party has been positioned to emerge victorious in the 2019 general elections.

He observed that in recent times, the party has been receiving decampees including prominent personalities from other parties including Nigeria’s ruling APC.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the former Nigerian vice president, Atiku Abubakar, recently left the APC for the PDP.
