Following the fractional war amongst the members of the ruling party, PDP, former Nigeria President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has made a peace call among to the party’s members in Lagos State.

The Otta-Farmer who was well represented by Mr. Jide Damazio, PDP zonal Secretary, South-West, at the Joint Annual General Assembly of the Lagos PDP Women and Youth Vanguard, made an effort to reconcile its straying members in order to restore the image of the party.

In his speech, he said, “I urge you to strive to identify yourselves with how to bring peace to Lagos PDP. “You must all strive to ensure reconciliation among warring factions in the rank and file of the party in Lagos.”

The two-time president of Nigeria under different regimes also urged the youth and women to be on the watch-out for opposition parties plotting to divide the party.

According to him, the party members must all reach out to the gladiators of the party in the state to work towards uplifting PDP beyond its present status.

The 2011 governorship aspirant of the Lagos PDP, Mr Salis Owolabi, who doubles as the Chief Adviser of the Youth Vanguard appealed to chieftains of the party to come together and work for the party’s victory in the 2015 general elections.

“The youth vanguard programme is designed to bring unity to the party but you know that in any dispute, there are diehards who will never agree to anything,” he said.
While Mr. Sheriff Adepoju, the President of the Lagos PDP Youth Vanguard, said they were ready to mobilise their youth in large numbers to appeal to their leaders to ensure that there was reconciliation.
