The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has directed an emergency reconciliation meeting between Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde and former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose as the last soft move to remove the clog in the wheel of South West Zonal congress.
The committee gave the directive at its meeting in Abuja on Wednesday after failed efforts to approve April 10 for the congress.
The NWC, according to a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbodiyan, will decide on the outcome of the parley in the next 24 hours.
The statement read:“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after an extensive meeting has scaled up processes for reconciliation and as it affects South West Zonal Congress of the party.
“The NWC resolved as follows:
“That beyond the legal conundrum in our party’s formation in the zone, the PDP must win the South West.
“Consequent upon this, the NWC further resolved that a meeting comprising of the National Chairman, the Deputy National Chairman, the National Secretary, the Senator Bukola Saraki-led Reconciliation and Strategic Committee, Governor Seyi Makinde and former Governor Ayo Fayose, be held immediately for urgent resolution of all issues concerning the South West.
“The NWC will meet on the the outcome of this reconciliation meeting within the next 24 hours.”
