PDP reassigns Iorhemba as Deputy National Secretary

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has announced the reassignment of Rt. Hon. Dave Iorhemba, from the position of National Legal Adviser to the Deputy National Secretary of the party.

According to a statement Sunday by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Prince Dayo Adeyeye,  “The decision is taken without prejudice but in view of the fact that the National Caretaker Committee (NCC) is no longer too pressured with legal matters since the Supreme Court Judgement of July 12, 2017.

The statement noted that the leadership of the party requires extra hand in the running of administration ahead of the forthcoming Electoral National Convention.

The statement continued: “In view of the above, Rt. Hon. Barr. Dave Iorhemba has been re-assigned to serve as the Deputy National Secretary with effect from Wednesday, 28 September, 2017.

“Also, the National Chairman, Sen Ahmed Makarfi, CON, has appointed the Immediate Past National Legal Adviser, Kwon Victor, Esq as his Special Adviser (Legal Affairs).

“This clarification became necessary to correct  misconceptions and contradictory narratives in some sections of the media.

“The PDP is one big family and every member is enjoined to participate in the rebuilding and repositioning processes  to move our great Party forward”, Adeyeye said.

Rt. Hon Dave Iorhemba, a former speaker of Benue State House of Assembly has been a member of the National Caretaker Committee since the party emerged from the Port Harcourt convention.
