The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) inaugurated a new caretaker committee for Enugu State on Sunday, marking a significant step toward reclaiming political control ahead of the 2027 elections. The ceremony, held in Enugu, drew party faithful from all 17 local government areas and revived enthusiasm after months of internal stagnation.
The factional National Working Committee, led by Acting National Chairman Abdulraham Mohameed and National Secretary Sam Anyanwu, oversaw the inauguration. Vitus Okechi, former Chairman of Igboeze South Local Government Area, was sworn in as Chairman of the caretaker committee, while Chukwunonye Okereke was inaugurated as State Secretary.
In his remarks, Okechi emphasized unity, loyalty, and the revival of the PDP’s longstanding political dominance in the state. He thanked those who remained loyal despite challenges, assuring them that their loyalty would be rewarded. Okechi also outlined a mobilization strategy that would be “efficient, smart, and relentless” in rebuilding grassroots structures.
State Secretary Okereke highlighted the need for integrity and inclusive leadership as the party works toward rejuvenation. He stressed a commitment to a recalibrated PDP driven by honesty, appreciation of members, and proper administrative competence.
The inauguration was attended by several dignitaries, including Prof. (Mrs.) Iloh, Barr. Celine Ugwu, and Chief Ken Obiora, who expressed confidence in the new leadership and urged the party to stay focused on rebuilding. Goodwill messages emphasized the immediate reactivation of structures across all 260 wards ahead of future electoral contests.
The move is seen as a crucial step for the PDP, which has faced internal challenges in recent months. Reclaiming control in Enugu State will be vital in the lead‑up to the 2027 elections. With the new caretaker committee in place, the PDP is poised to reposition itself for a strong comeback, renewing optimism within the party and fostering confidence that the committee will drive the PDP’s resurgence in the state.
