OGUN PDP CRISIS ENDS AS SARAKI RECONCILES AGGRIEVED PARTIES
The Reconciliation and Strategic Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by a former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has successfully resolved the crises rocking the Ogun State Chapter of the opposition party.
This happened on Thursday in Abuja after a decade-long crisis that had once polarized the party to the advantage of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This crisis that has lingered on for the past ten years between the two groups led by the Late Buruji Kashamu and Hon. Ladi Adebutu has had each of them instituting different court cases, obtaining injunctions and dissolving varying party’s Executive Committees.
These actions have combined to weaken the party in the state and made many people to believe that the differences would never be resolved. As a matter of fact, the crisis is responsible for the loss of the PDP in the state during the past three general elections.
Both parties have now resolved to work together and withdraw all pending court cases. They agree that PDP remains the best umbrella under which the unity and development of Nigeria can be achieved, sustained and guaranteed.
The camps have subsequently signed an agreement to that effect.
The magnanimity, maturity, patriotism and the sportsmanship spirit displayed by both parties, as well as other stakeholders in the resolution of the issue is a clear indication that the party has bounced back in strength and acceptability.
It is a credence that PDP is set to re-establish itself as the party that can wrestle the control of Ogun State from 2023.
Feelers from the party are inspired that PDP, has achieved success in finally settling Ogun PDP crises, which was one of the most difficult and complex throughout the federation.
