The committee is chaired by Bayelsa State Governor Duoye Diri.
The committee chairman yesterday promised to liaise with party members to arrive at a good position.
“We will be consultative, we will partner, and we will be inclusive in ensuring that we arrive at a fair and just zoning formula for our party,” he told party leaders during his committee’s inauguration at Wadata Plaza in Abuja yesterday.
The committee is expected to submit its formal report on August 25.
The PDP said though it was considering various strategies to reinvigorate its fold, it had not held an official discussion with former Anmbra State Governor Peter Obi or any other presidential aspirant.
“The National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Debo Ologunagba, mentioned Mr. Peter Obi during a media briefing on Wednesday, but it was more of a rhetorical statement on endless speculations about such purported talks.

“It is erroneous to take it in a literal sense as he never expected to be interpreted out of context about purported talks with Obi,” a party official said.
According to PDP’s National Organising Secretary, Alhaji Bature Umar, the new committee’s inauguration is a key strategy towards reinvigorating the party.
The new committee also has Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal as Vice Chairman, while Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang is the Secretary.
Following the inauguration of the committee, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, who is also the Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum, applauded the choice of Diri and other members.
