The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has affirmed Elder Yomi Akinwonmi as its Acting Chairman.
There has been factionalisation after a court in Port Harcourt asked the substastive Chairman, Uche Secondus, to stop parading himself as chairman.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Kola Ologbondiyan, announced the Akinwonmi affirmation on Thursday, while adding that the elders have announced plans by the party to hold its much awaited National Executive Council meeting on Saturday.
He said this while speaking to the media on the outcome of its National Working Committee meeting, held in Abuja, on Thursday.
“We will be holding our Caucus and another NWC meeting tomorrow preparatory to holding our National Executive Council meeting at 12. O’clock on Saturday,” he said.
