Wabara urges peace as PDP BoT moves to reconcile warring factions

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has appealed to aggrieved members of the party to embrace peace and prioritize reconciliation in the interest of unity.

Wabara made the appeal while presiding over a BoT meeting held on Wednesday at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja. He emphasized that the board would maintain neutrality and focus on mediating differences among members to restore stability within the party.

In attendance were BoT Secretary Ahmed Makarfi, Prof. Jerry Gana, Senator Ben Obi, Josephine Anenih, Zainab Maina, and members of the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum.

The meeting marked Damagum’s first appearance since the suspension of the Senator Anyanwu-led NWC last week.

In his remarks, Damagum commended the recent Oyo State High Court ruling that affirmed the party’s right to proceed with its planned National Elective Convention in Ibadan. He reiterated the NWC’s commitment to due process and insisted that the convention must hold as scheduled.

The BoT also announced the formation of a reconciliation committee to resolve internal disputes and unite members ahead of the convention.

Members at the meeting expressed their support for the Damagum-led NWC and reaffirmed that the planned National Elective Convention would proceed as scheduled.
