The Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), says various groups, including the Concerned PDP Stakeholders have
agreed to work with the Sen. Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee.
BOT Secretary Ojo Maduekwe disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja,
while addressing newsmen on the resolutions of the board’s expanded meeting
with various organs and groups in the PDP.
Maduekwe said that the groups agreed to work together and
support the decisions reached at the PDP May 21 National Convention, held in
Port Harcourt.
“We agreed that the National Caretaker Committee led by Markafi
should involved members of the Concern PDP Stakeholders group for effective
integration of all points of views and indices,” Maduekwe said.
He added that in order to settle the latest leadership crisis in
the PDP, the meeting set up two committees to engage all aggrieved leaders and
members of the party.
“The BOT at the expanded meeting decided to immediately engage
all groups, party leaders and members involved in whatever disputes towards a
just, lasting and amicable resolutions.
“The BOT will therefore preside over the processes of major
reconciliation in our party as part of its leadership responsibility.
“A committee has also been set up to meet with Sen. Ali Modu
Sheriff (former National Chairman of PDP) in the spirit of working together and
resolving outstanding issues,” he added
Maduekwe added that the meeting equally resolved that all
matters that were in courts be withdrawn for the party to apply internal
mechanisms towards resolving them.
He said that the advice was based on the party’s extant
regulations that no matter should go to court without exhausting internal
mechanisms.
Chairman of BOT, Sen. Jubrin Walid, who also spoke, said the
decisions were reached by all organs of the party represented at the meeting.
He listed them as the BOT, forum of former ministers, PDP
leadership at the National Assembly, the party national caucuses, among others.
