PDP Woos Obasanjo, Atiku, Others As Okowa Heads Convention Committee by Beress(m): 10:40pm On Aug 08, 2017 |
By Dirisu Yakubu ABUJA- The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Tuesday inaugurated its Convention, Disciplinary and Reconciliation Committees as part of efforts aimed at rebuilding the party ahead of the 2019 elections. The Convention Committee is to be chaired by the governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa while Alhaji Sule Lamido and Senator Abiodun Olujimi were named deputy chairman and secretary respectively. Nyesom Wike and Ibrahim Dankwambo, executive governors of Rivers and Gombe States respectively will co-chair the Reconciliatory Committee while Foreign Affairs Minister, Chief Tom Ikimi was named Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee. Inaugurating the committees, Chairman, PDP National Caretaker Committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi charged members to go do their best in bringing back into the fold of the party all those who left the PDP for one reason or the other. “Reconciliation is very important. We must reconcile and bring back all those who have held important positions in the past including past President, Vice President and others,” Said Makarfi who added that the reconciliation is not restricted to post 2015 when some members quit the party following the defeat it suffered in the last general elections. “The reconciliation goes as far back as possible. It is not an issue that has to do with the past one or two years,” he stressed. Responding on behalf of the Convention Planning Committee, Governor Okowa pledged to conduct a successful convention which he said would “be the first place to showcase our strength,” adding that that the convention will be the first of its kind in recent times. “Though a non-elective, we will organise a convention that will shake Abuja and Nigeria,” he said, urging members to get ready to work in the interest of the party. On his part, Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, Chief Tom Ikimi said he would work with the reconciliation committee to ensure that all aggrieved members return to the party. Ikimi who said he played a key role in the formation of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) noted that the party is “now dying and is almost dead.” PDP sacks Anambra factional leader Meanwhile, the PDP yesterday kept faith with its promising of sanctioning erring members with the suspension of Chief Ken Emeakayi, a leader of a faction of the party in Anambra State. Briefing newsmen at the party secretariat, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Prince Dayo Adeyeye said the decision was arrived at following Emeakayi’s flagrant disobedience of the party national leadership which had earlier dissolved all three parallel executives of the party in the state. He added that Emeakayi, a known loyalist of former PDP Acting Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff was suspended for one month. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/08/pdp-woos-obasanjo-atiku-others-okowa-heads-convention-committee/ 2 Likes 1 Share

Still same old rogues that couldn't deliverwhen they were at the helms of affairs! Still same old rogues that weren't loyal tothe party that made them whatever they are today! Still same old rogues that are so self centred at the expense of Nigeria and Nigerians! They were in PDP, now in APC and about to decamp back to PDP..... are these ones leaders or just dealers. Anyone who has this type of people as his or her spouse is doomed forever! Smh.... 27 Likes 1 Share |

It's not about party, it's about the people that make up the party that determines how viable and promising theparty is! The truth is that Nigeria seems to be cursed with self centred people as leaders! Our leaders in this country fought tooth and nail to be where they are mainly for their personal interest and prestige! Until we have selfless leaders who truly love and believe in this country, I'm afraid, this is how we're going to be"parabulating" in the same spot! 7 Likes |

The solution to Nigeria's problem is neither pdp or apc. It is restoration of true love among all Nigerians and eradication of tribalism/ethnicity. 3 Likes 1 Share |

While their online puppies keep yelping Obj is irrelevant. ![]() The sooner these guys realise and embrace the fact Obj is gone and never to return to the party, the better for them. To start with, if there is to be any hope of securing his support, they should be ready to dispense with characters such as FFK and Fayose.... Are they willing to purge themselves of such negativities? ![]() Obj might have his flaws but take it or leave it, he is today one of the biggest unifying figures in this country with a good national appeal. I don't see him dabbling into partisan politics anymore especially given the prevailing sociopolitical climate. 7 Likes |
