Ahead of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting set for Thursday, the Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Reconciliation Committee is preparing to brief the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on its findings and recommendations.
This comes before a crucial gathering of the PDP Governors Forum (PDP-GF) scheduled for today. The Reconciliation Committee convened at the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja to finalize its report for presentation to the NWC, which will then review it for ratification by the NEC.
Oyinlola spoke to reporters after a three-hour meeting with the PDP National Assembly caucus, emphasizing the importance of unity within the party. He noted, “For any party to be able to go into battle and win, it must be united. That’s what we are striving for.”
Regarding the upcoming Ondo governorship election, Oyinlola mentioned that the committee’s strategies were focusing on reconciliation among party members with grievances. When asked about potential recommendations for suspending members, he dismissed the notion as rumors, stating that clarity would come after the NWC meeting.
In related developments, the PDP-GF meeting is expected to discuss whether the NEC meeting will proceed as scheduled or if a new date is necessary, along with the agenda for the gathering.
