The Peoples Democratic Party’s National Reconciliation Committee has disclosed plans to engage with members of the National Working Committee (NWC) as part of efforts to resolve internal conflicts threatening the party’s stability.
A member of the panel and former PDP National Vice Chairman (South-West), Eddy Olafeso, shared this during an interview with Punch on Friday.
Olafeso revealed that the reconciliation committee, chaired by former Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, is also scheduled to meet with stakeholders from the party’s North-East zone in Bauchi on Saturday.
He said, “We will meet with the NWC in a few days. We are looking at everything. Not only the secretary position, but the health of the party as at today and what we can do to move away from the situation we find ourselves in.
“We must be more vibrant and more alive to our responsibility as an opposition party and provide that alternative the Nigerians are yearning for. We wear the burden of responsibility and we will bring succour to our people. We have not been on holiday; it’s just that we are working underground and bringing our people closer together.
“Reconciliation is a process, not just a shortcut journey. Our desire to be there for Nigeria, our country, is far more alive today than ever before. Reconciliation work is ongoing. We are meeting the North East stakeholders in Bauchi on Saturday.”
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, emphasized that the party urgently needed reconciliation to reposition itself for the upcoming elections.
In an interview with the platform, Ologunagba confirmed that Oyinlola’s committee was doing significant work to reconcile dissatisfied party members.
He stated, “The reconciliation committee has been doing a lot of work. I do know they’ve gone to the South-West, and they’re going to other zones. They have done a lot of work, and their visit to the South-West was hugely successful.
“That’s why you see the surge of activity in the South-West. We commend our two governors, particularly the leader of the party in the South-West, who have done and invested so much time, resources, and energy into reconciling the party.”
