In a move aimed at reinforcing party structure and unity, the Southwest chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has approved a three-member interim administrative team to oversee the party’s affairs in Ekiti State.
Composition of the Interim Team
The members appointed include:
- Chief Sanya Atofarati — Chairman
- Mrs. Lanre Fajuyi — Secretary
- Chief Adeola Ogunrinde — Member
This decision was made under the provisions of the PDP constitution and in full alignment with the National Working Committee (NWC) and the party’s Southwest Governors’ Forum. The appointment was formalized during a zonal working committee meeting.
Fact-Finding Panel Established
Alongside the interim team, the Southwest PDP also constituted a five-member fact-finding panel. Its purpose is to assess the current state of the party in Ekiti State and to report its findings to the NWC.
Members of the panel are:
- Barrister Olumuyiwa Obanewa — Chairman
- Seyi Bamidele — Member
- Benson Amuwa — Member
- Mrs. Oluwakemi Bello — Member
- Chief Tunji Adeyemo — Member
Both committees have been instructed to assume office immediately and to begin groundwork in preparation for the National Interface Committee recently appointed by the NWC.
