₦airaland Forum

A group known as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Renaissance says the party’s Reconciliation committee, led by Bukola Saraki, former president of the Senate, alongside the PDP Governors’ Forum and Governor of Bauchi State Bala Muhammed, did a good job reconciling aggrieved members of the party.

In a statement on Thursday, Bashir Sulaiman, convener of the group, said everyone expected the crisis in the party to implode, but that has not been the case.

Sulaiman said the party is now ready to plan its forthcoming convention peacefully.

“I am very impressed by what Dr. Bukola Saraki, the Reconciliation and Strategy Committee, and PDP Governors Forum led by Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, have done to get the PDP back on track,” the convener said.

“They were tasked with resolving disputes and preparing the party for its convention, and they have delivered on their objective with precision and dedication.

“Many had predicted that the PDP would collapse under the weight of its internal disagreements. Yet, thanks to Dr. Saraki, his Reconciliation Committee, and the backing of the PDP Governors’ Forum, the party has defied those expectations. The 100th, 101st, and 102nd NEC meetings were conducted without rancour, and long-standing issues, including the tussle over the National Secretary position, have now been amicably resolved.”

“Now that the committees for the convention and the zoning framework are fully in motion, it is clear that when focused and capable leaders join forces around a shared purpose, difficulties are transformed into opportunities to move forward.

“The party is now better positioned to take power back from a government that does not care about the needs of the people.”

The country’s major opposition party has been enmeshed in crisis since the aftermath of the 2023 general election.

Recently, Sunday Udeh-Okoye, Setonji Koshoedo, and Sam Anyanwu all laid claims to the party’s national secretary position until the party settled with Anyanwu.

Saraki’s committee was set up to calm frayed nerves.

PDP is doing everything possible to attract Peter Obi specifically. They don't want anybody else, only Peter Obi. But then there's Wike which they can do nothing about

PDP messed up big time. They caused 90% of Nigeria's problems

Do you still have a party? It doesn't seem so to me from outside

Whatever rocks their boat. Saraki is one man I respect a lot

We are watching to see the weight PDP will pull in the forth coming election.
I am particularly waiting to see how they deal with Emperor Wike.

They should do everything possible to make him PDP Presidential candidate.

He was part of people that scattered the group, but also tried to bridge it back peacefully unlike one person in port that is using it for his own selfish interests.

Saraki has one leg in PDP and one leg in ADC. Las Las na insider job him go do for inside PDP

So obi will go and join the pdp he called among the structure of criminality he promised to dismantle. Very unstable people who are just desperate to get igbo presidency at all cost. He will still fail. David Umahi will be the igbo president in 2039. They is the only realistic time for south east to produce president. Tribal and religious bigot obi can't become president of Nigeria. You igbos keep saying is the most popular but he is busy begging for one term under coalition. Wike is waiting for him in pdp anyway. He must contest primaries. Seyi mankinde will even win him.

Until PDP punishes the Supreme leader of Rivers State for anti party activities, I won't take them seriously. My personal opinion is that PDP as a party is breathing it's last breathe.

What of ADC, are they even breathing at all?

Bukola Saraki is a full blooded PDP Man. He has nothing in common with ADC

No Nigerians have only one hope to be free from this total disgrace, abomination and curse called Tpain which is ADC on the ballot.

Niggas out there on the streets that have businesses and something doing with their lives just need this terrorist Apc govt to end,they have been the greatest threat to the survival of SMEs in Nigeria since 2015.

It's 12m votes for ADC already

They did a fantastic job. Although it is a little bit too late

Yusuf Datti thinks otherwise about ADC. Let me share his views.

I don't support political parties but credible candidates. So I can't tell if ADC is breathing or not.

Dont you trust any one of these guys, they can do and undo. Anything can happen

I'm very much surprised that Oga Panama Papers is still very much active in politics. I recall when he bribed Yankee officials to have a meeting with and photo op with another looter politician.

Every big man has foreign accounts. Even tinubu has accounts in those countries. That's how to protect your funds in case your country blocks your bank account.

True talk. I think Cayman Islands took over the top spot from Switzerland some time ago for various reasons.

Any smart country would key into that sector to generate revenue.

There's a certain level you get to that you need such funds. Imagine when the US froze those Russian oligarchs funds because of the Ukraine war. All they just had to do is use the offshore account funds if they planned ahead. Also in case of political persecution from your country it's important to hav funds in places you can easily access the money.
