ended with the extension of the tenure of the Ahmed Makarfi’s Caretaker
Committee for another one year.

the Caretaker Committee will enable the party resolve all pending legal
battles.
The Party resolves as follows:

to fill the vacuum orchestrated by the expiration of the tenure of the
former Working Committee members;
2. The Convention ratified the constitution of the National Caretaker
Committee as constituted by the 21st May, 2016 Convention in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State;
3. Extended the tenure of the National Caretaker Committee ably led by
Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, CON by 12 months, that is 1 year.
That will enable the Party resolve all pending legal issues in Courts;
4. The Convention also increased the number of the Caretaker Committee
from 7 to 13 in order to cater for all the offices available in the NWC
and includes all the zones of the federation.
The Convention was then adjourned to a later date.
