The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Reconciliation and Strategy Committee led by former Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Friday held a closed door meeting with the Enugu State Governor and leader of their party South East caucus, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah at the Government House Enugu.
Speaking to newsmen after, Dr. Saraki disclosed the committee’s mission to the state;
“We are members of the PDP Reconciliation and Strategy Committee, set up recently by the PDP Governors’ Forum to work towards ensuring that our upcoming National Executive Council meeting and also likely convention is rancor-free and works smoothly.”
“In line with that, we are here in Enugu State to consult with one of our leaders, Governor Peter Mbah, who is the leader of South East PDP.”
“This is the first state we are coming to because we appreciate the importance of the South East in our PDP family. As you all know, the South East has played a key role as the bedrock of the popularity and the strength of our party.”
“In recognition of that, we are here to consult with him and first to commend him on the leadership role he has been playing in the party. More importantly also, to commend what he is doing in Enugu State, which is a reflection for Nigerians to see what happens when you have a PDP government.”
“In doing that, we discussed how we will ensure that we carry out the assignment given to us and go ahead to have our NEC and our convention; we will have one that is rancor-free and smooth, peaceful and lays the foundation for the PDP that we all are wishing for.”
“We have had a very good discussion. Frankly, we have had a very, very useful discussion. We are going away with some of the suggestions that we have here and hopefully work on that.”
“With this, we can say here in Enugu we laid the foundation for a greater new PDP that is coming,” Dr. Saraki postulates.
In conclusion, the Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki said, “What we have also seen today is that there is nothing insurmountable in the challenge ahead and the spirit, the commitment of all of us, especially our leaders, is very inspiring.”
Other members of the Committee at the meeting are Senator Seriake Dickson, former Governor of Bayelsa State and Former Governor of Gombe State, Dr. Ibrahim Dankwambo.
Recall that PDP South East leaders in a recent meeting held in Enugu announced their re-nomination of S.K.E Udeh-Okoye as the party’s National Secretary.
The leaders without mincing words stated in the communiqué issued after the meeting that if their decision is not upheld will disassociate from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Excerpt from the communiqué issued after the South East PDP Zonal Executive Council, ZEC, meeting reads:
“In the event that our position is not promptly implemented by the Party, the South East PDP, as a family, will be compelled to reconsider our relationship with the PDP going forward.”
