The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT), Adolphus Wabara, has appealed to aggrieved members of the party to sheathe their swords and embrace reconciliation in the interest of unity ahead of the party’s forthcoming national convention.
Speaking while presiding over a BoT meeting at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, on Wednesday, Wabara emphasized that the board would remain neutral and serve strictly as a mediator among disputing factions.
Present at the meeting were BoT Secretary Ahmed Makarafi, Jerry Gana, Senator Ben Obi, Josephine Anenih, Zainab Maina, and members of the Umar Damagum-led National Working Committee (NWC).
The meeting marked the first public appearance of Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum since the suspension of the Senator Anyanwu-led NWC last week.
In his remarks, Damagum welcomed the recent Oyo State High Court ruling clearing the PDP to hold its National Elective Convention in Ibadan, reiterating that the event would proceed as planned in line with due process.
