Reconciliation: PDP’s BoT Seeks Atiku, Wike Camps’ Cooperation
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Dr. Walid Jibrin, has urged the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike’s teams to sheath their swords.
He said it was important for both politicians’ camps to allow efforts being put in place to resolve the party’s internal crisis materialise.
The BoT chairman made the call in a statement, yesterday, in Abuja.
Jibrin noted that it was time both camps see the internal crisis as a “misunderstanding” and not a “problem”.
The statement read, “I wish to call on all members of PDP and all Nigerians to remain calm and never create bad blood and confusion on the state of our party. All efforts are on the ground towards reconciliation between Wike, the party, and the presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
“What is happening now should never be categorised as a problem but misunderstanding within the party. In this period leading to the 2023 elections, we should concentrate on how to win all positions to be contested and seriously adhere to the provision of the party’s constitution.
“My strong advice is for us to give strong support to the present reconciliation committee set up to resolve all issues.
“Thereafter, BoT, the highest advisory organ of the party, will give more encouragement leading to greater success of PDP.”
