Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!PDP BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, made the disclosure during an emergency meeting held in Abuja on Thursday.
According to him, the meeting is aimed at finding a lasting solution to the party’s internal conflicts.
The BoT also expressed disappointment with the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Umar Damagum for its repeated delays in convening the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
The NWC has been criticized for its handling of party affairs, with many calling for Damagum’s resignation.
The PDP has been plagued by internal conflicts, with party leaders at loggerheads over the leadership of the party.
In his address, Wabara emphasized the need for unity and cooperation among party leaders. He noted that the party’s strength comes from its collective determination, not individual ambitions.
Wabara also expressed concern about the impact of the crisis on the party’s image and its ability to provide a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said, “Today, we convene under challenging self-inflicted circumstances, compelled by our collective concern for the current state of our great party. As custodians of the Peoples Democratic Party’s conscience and legacy, it is our responsibility to uphold the integrity of this institution and ensure that it continues to serve as a beacon of hope for our democracy and good governance for our dear nation.
“It is with a deep sense of disappointment that I must express the Board’s dismay at the continued shifting by the National Working Committee (NWC) in convening a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. This delay not only undermines the trust and confidence of our members.
“We recognize that challenges may arise during governance and administration, but adherence to timelines and commitments is non-negotiable. Inasmuch as the Board of Trustees serves as the conscience of the party, we expect that the NWC would honour its word and convene the NEC meeting as scheduled. This is critical for resolving pressing issues and charting a clear path forward for the party.”
He added, “We cannot afford to let personal ambitions or differences overshadow our shared vision for a better Nigeria.
“Our governors are the bedrock of the PDP’s successes across states, and their synergy is vital for our collective progress. Let us prioritize dialogue, collaboration, and a sense of shared responsibility as we navigate these trying times.
“The BoT will be relentless in seeking peace and unity in our party as the conscience of PDP. To this end, the BoT will begin again to search for peace in the new year, starting with former Governor Nyesom Wike, who the BoT had promised to visit again to seek lasting peace.”
