‘No More Conflict’ – Former Gov Declares End To PDP Crisis

The Olagunsoye Oyinlola-led Reconciliation Committee, established to address the internal divisions within the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has successfully completed its mission.

Speaking to journalists after a marathon three-hour meeting with the disputing factions on Tuesday, Oyinlola announced that the internal conflicts within the NWC have been resolved, paving the way for the party to move forward with its objectives.

Oyinlola, a former governor of Osun State, revealed that the committee would present its findings and recommendations to the PDP Governors’ Forum later in the evening.

He stated, “We are pleased to announce that by the grace of God, we have resolved the differences that have been causing challenges within the National Working Committee. We have come together as a united front, which is crucial for the progress of our party, the PDP.”

When pressed for details on the specific issues resolved during the NWC session, Oyinlola declined to elaborate.

“These were internal matters that had caused divisions within the NWC, but I cannot itemize them for you now,” he said.

Regarding the potential for a controversial National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for Thursday, which has been advocated by a faction loyal to Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, Oyinlola clarified that it was not part of his committee’s mandate.

He said: “The NEC meeting was not part of our discussion. My focus was on resolving the issues within the NWC, and I am pleased to say that my job is done.”

An NWC member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the reconciliation process had concluded successfully.

Although the source refrained from sharing specific details, they indicated that the committee’s findings and recommendations would be submitted to the PDP Governors’ Forum for final approval.

“The final decision will be made tonight at the PDP Governors’ Forum,” the source confirmed to The PUNCH.
