The crisis rocking PDP in Ogun State might have been finally laid to rest owing to the recent steps taken by the Reconciliation Cmmittee constituted to find a lasting solution to the lingering crisis in the State.
The Chairman of the Committee, erstwhile Senate President of Nigeria, Senator Bukola Saraki while addressing newsmen said its committee has brought the aggrieved parties together and that they have all agreed to sheathe their swords and allow peace to reign in the party.
Shortly after the address, the official PDP tweeted the resolution of the committee which reads in part:
” Today, the PDP Reconciliation & Strategy Committee successfully resolved the decade-long crisis in the Ogun State Chapter of the PDP.
“This crisis that has lingered on for the past ten years between the groups led by late Buruji Kashamu and Hon. Ladi Adebutu — has had each of them instituting different court cases, obtaining injunctions and dissolving 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.
“Today, both parties have 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. They have all signed an agreement to that effect.
“We appreciate the magnanimity, maturity, patriotism and the give-and-take spirit displayed by both parties — as well as other leaders in the resolution of this issue. Now, PDP is set to re-establish itself as the party that will take control of Ogun State from 2023.
“We are inspired that if, with the support of Almighty God, we have achieved success in Ogun PDP — which was one of the most difficult and complex — then, as we move from state to state, we will continue to make tangible progress”.
