The directive, conveyed in a letter signed by National Secretary Dr. Olu Agunloye, cited reports on the activities within the State Chapter as justification for the change.

The committee has been mandated to reorganize the chapter, recruit fresh members particularly youths and women ensure regular meetings and events, and provide monthly activity reports to the National Vice Chairman, SE, and the National Chairman.
The 17-member Caretaker Committee also includes Chief Raymond Egenti as Deputy Chairman, Comrade Chijioke Onuoha as Vice Chairman 1, Chief Innocent Ekejiu as Vice Chairman 2, and Tony Duru as Vice Chairman 3.
Other key members are Don Ubah (Publicity Secretary), Shanahan Nnadi (Legal Adviser), Princess Ifeoma Bassey (Organizing Secretary), Obinna Oguneme (Youth Leader), and Amaka Osunde (Woman Leader).
Dr. Agunloye emphasized that the committee’s tenure will be 90 days or as determined by the NWC and instructed members to familiarize themselves with the party’s constitution and policies, noting that the appointments take immediate effect.
