In a statement, the National Publicity Secretary, Hon.

The members of the South South Zonal Caretaker Committee include Bro. Emma Ogidi as Chairman, Hon. Nicholas Ayuwa, Barr. Godwin Akpan Udonta, Mrs. Bekewei Ashanti, Idehen Ebomoyi, Dame Vivian Ahanmisi, and Chief Damiete Herbert-Miller as Secretary.

Ologunagba stated that the South South Zonal Caretaker Committee is to oversee the activities of the Party in the Zone for a period of three months or until a new Zonal Executive is elected in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP.

The NWC, through Ologunagba, enjoined all Party leaders, critical stakeholders, and members of the PDP in the South South Zone to be guided by this and continue to work together in the overall interest of the Party in the Zone. Debo Ologunagba urged cooperation and unity among Party members.
