Makinde-Led PDP Unveils Turaki, Others as Caretaker Committee Members

A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party led by Seyi Makinde has announced a new 13-member caretaker committee to steer the party’s affairs amid ongoing internal realignments.

The committee is chaired by Tanimu Turaki, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who is expected to oversee efforts to stabilize the party structure and prepare for future political activities.

According to party sources, the caretaker committee has been tasked with reconciling aggrieved members, reorganizing party operations, and strengthening unity within the ranks. The move comes as part of broader efforts by the Makinde-led bloc to assert control and reposition the party ahead of upcoming political contests.

While full details of all committee members have not been officially disclosed, insiders say the list reflects a mix of experienced politicians and party loyalists drawn from different regions.

The development highlights ongoing divisions within the PDP, as rival factions continue to contest leadership and direction. Political observers note that the success of the caretaker committee will largely depend on its ability to foster inclusiveness and rebuild trust among party stakeholders.

Further reactions from other factions of the party are expected as the situation continues to unfold.
