The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has constituted a high-powered reconciliation committee to restore unity within the party ahead of its elective national convention slated for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The committee is chaired by Amb. Hassan Adamu (North East), with Chief Mike Oghiadomhe (South South), as secretary.
Other members include Chief Ugochukwu Okeke (South East), Sen. Zaynab Kure (North Central), Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola (South West), and Dr. Lubna Mohammed Gusau (North West). The committee is expected to report back to the BoT on Tuesday, November 11.
In a communiqué issued after its emergency meeting on Wednesday, November 5, the BoT reaffirmed its support for the Ambassador. Iliya Damagum-led National Working Committee (NWC) and other organs of the party for stabilizing the PDP.
The BoT also hailed the Oyo State High Court ruling that affirmed the party’s constitutional right to conduct its convention, describing it as a victory for democracy and the rule of law.
While expressing concern over recent internal tensions and the invasion of the party’s national secretariat, the BoT urged members to embrace dialogue and reconciliation, emphasizing that unity remains key to the PDP’s progress.
