The former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has joined the Peoples Redemption Party.
The national publicity secretary, Mr. Abdul Gombe, said in a statement yesterday that Jega would chair the Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threat (SWOT) analysis Committee of the party in order to reposition it for more nationalistic outlook ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He said the resolve to constitute the committees was reached at the party’s 62nd national executive committee meeting, which held in Kaduna.
“The PRP at its 62nd National Executive Committee meeting held on June 22nd in Kaduna decided to set up three committees to review the performance of the party in the 2019 general elections with a view to repositioning the party for better performance in facing new challenges of Nigerian politics.
“On the basis of a critical analysis of these, the committee made up of some of the best intellectuals in Nigeria will recommend to the party, strategies to adopt for its survival and growth,” said Gombe.
Other committees set up include the membership mobilisation, finance and funding committees.
“The committees are also expected to review the performance of the party for better performance in the 2019 general elections with a view to repositioning the party for better performance in facing new challenges of Nigerian politics,” he added.
Mr. Sule Mohammed heads the membership and mobilisation committee with the group managing director of Leadership Newspaper, Gombe, as member among others while Mr. Falalu Bello is the chairman of the finance and funding committee with six other members.
The statement said the committees will be formally inaugurated in Abuja on August 17, 2019 and are expected to file in their reports within two months from the day of their inauguration.
