Segun Awofadeji in Bauchi  

The reconciliation committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, moved to Bauchi State to meet the three governors from the North East region and other party stakeholders.

The party reaffirmed its political maturity and experience in overcoming self-inflicted challenges.

Speaking at the Northeast PDP Zonal Caucus Meeting in Bauchi, Acting National Chairman of the party, Ambassador Umar Ilya Damagun, assured members that the party remained committed and resolute despite the current internal crisis.

He emphasised that reconciliation efforts were ongoing to foster unity and reduce divisions ahead of the upcoming National Convention.

The reconciliation committee chairman and former National Secretary of the PDP, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, stressed that the party was more than ever before poised to address the challenges facing the part.

He added that the move was aimed at fixing everything humanly possible to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) come 2027 general election.

The former two term governor of Osun State held a meeting with the governors of Adamawa, Bauchi and Taraba States on the best way to go about reconciling all the warring groups within the party.

According to him, the main purpose of the Committee was to reach out to the aggrieved party members and those having issues with the party in order to reestablish a formidable political party in the country playing the role of a virile opposition.

He added that the move was to ensure that the PDP bounced back to power in the next general election, a development he said could be done and was achievable if all the members would allow reason to prevail.

Commending the three governors for their efforts in strengthening the party, Oyinlola urged them to as leaders deepen the reconciliation processes.

Responding on behalf of the governors, Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, described the activities of the Committee as timely considering the lingering problems tearing the party apart.

He stressed that the party could only bounce back and reclaim its leadership position through collective efforts urging all aggrieved parties to come to the roundtable in order to reconcile and move on.

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State also expressed confidence in the party’s strength and pledged the governors’ support in fortifying its structure.

The Northeast PDP Zonal Chairman, Rev. Emmanuel Bovoa and  Senator Abdul Ningi, urged party members and leadership to remain committed to the ideals of the PDP.
