Enugu PDP Elects New State Executive Committee, Dr. Martin Chukwunweike Emerges as Chairman
The Enugu State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has successfully elected a new 39-member State Executive Committee, with Dr. Martin Chukwunweike, a former Commissioner for Housing in the state, emerging as the new Chairman. The winners were announced by the six-man PDP Enugu State Congress Electoral Committee led by Toni Iyoha.
The newly elected Chairman, Dr. Chukwunweike, promised to lead the party on the path of loyalty, equity, and fairness in order to consolidate the party’s hold on the state. He noted that the first task before the new state executive would be to ensure that the party retains the chairmanship of the 17 local government councils of the state in the forthcoming council election.
"I want to assure our party leaders and the entire state that wherever the past executives stopped, we are going to develop the party further from there. If there is anything that went wrong, I assure you that it will be rectified and PDP will be stronger in Enugu State," Dr. Chukwunweike said.
He also emphasized that the party would work hard to ensure that it continues to retain the chairmanship of the 17 local government councils.
The new state Woman Leader, Hon. Peace Patrick, promised to ensure that women are accorded their due in the scheme of things, while also rallying them to support the government and vision of Governor Peter Mbah.
The congress witnessed a large turnout of party stalwarts and members. The immediate past chairman, Hon. Augustine Nnamani, thanked party leaders and faithful for their support to the former Executive Committee, which he led, promising to continue working hard for the success of the party and the Mbah-led Administration.
The newly elected State Executive Committee members include Barr. Stephen Oruruo, Deputy Chairman; Chukwudi Nnadozie, Secretary; Patrick Okoh, Treasurer; Fide Odoh, Legal Adviser; Peace Patrick, Woman Leader; Hon. Ejike Itodo, Financial Secretary; and others.
The Enugu PDP’s successful election of a new State Executive Committee comes at a time when the party is preparing for the forthcoming council election in the state.
