The National Caretaker Working Committee (NCWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially selected Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, the former Governor of Abia State, to chair the National Convention Organizing Committee for the party.

The committee is made up of various stakeholders and leaders from across the nation tasked with the responsibility of organizing, coordinating, and ensuring the successful execution of the National Convention while adhering to the Party's Constitution and guidelines.

Additionally, the list reveals that Senator Mustapha Khabeeb has been designated as the Secretary of the convention committee.

Earlier, during a press conference, the faction's National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, disclosed that the sale of nomination forms will begin immediately after the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
