The announcement was made by the Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, during a press conference in Abuja on Friday.

The PDP has faced internal strife since the 2023 Presidential primary, where former Vice President Atiku Abubakar won with 371 votes against former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike’s 237 votes out of a total of 767. Following the primary, Wike led a coalition of five PDP governors in a campaign against both Atiku and the party.

The new disciplinary committee, led by Ikimi, will include Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, as its secretary. Other members are former Kano State Governor Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, Chief Olabode George and Rt. Hon. Margaret Icheen from the Board of Trustees, Senator Effiong Bob, and former Acting National Chairman Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, among others.

Ologunagba also announced that the committee will be inaugurated alongside the National Reconciliation Committee, chaired by Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, on Wednesday, August 21, 2024.

He urged all PDP leaders, stakeholders, and members to stay committed to the party’s vision and principles for its growth, development, and stability.
