The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, Adolphus Wabara, has pleaded with the warring members of the party to sheathe their swords and prioritize reconciliation for the sake of the party’s unity.
Wabara made the appeal while chairing a BoT meeting at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro on Wednesday.
The former Senate President stressed that the board would remain neutral and focus solely on mediating differences.
DAILY POST reports that present at the meeting were BoT Secretary Ahmed Makarafi, Jerry Gana, Senator Ben Obi, Josephine Anenih, Zainab Maina, and members of the Umar Damagum-led National Working Committee, NWC.
This marked the first appearance of National Chairman Damagum since the suspension of the Senator Anyanwu-led NWC last week.
Damagum, in his address, applauded the recent Oyo State High Court ruling which ordered the PDP to proceed with its scheduled National Elective Convention in Ibadan.
He insisted that the convention must hold as planned, underscoring the party’s commitment to due process.
The BoT also announced the setting up of a reconciliation committee to address disputes and bring warring members together.
Members reiterated their support for the Damagum-led National Working Committee and insisted that the party’s National Elective Convention must go ahead as scheduled.
