Former Senate, Dr President Bukola Saraki, has been appointed as Chairman of a seven-member reconciliation committee by the
Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum, which also has the support of former governors of the party.
This comes ahead of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for May 27.
Announcing this to journalists after a strategic meeting on Monday in Abuja, Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, said the committee’s mandate is to engage party members and foster unity ahead of the party’s NEC meeting and its National Elective Convention scheduled for August.
Saraki also announced this on his X handle @bukolasaraki. The full post reads:
“I just left a meeting of the PDP Governors Forum, attended by its serving and former governors, at the Bauchi Governor’s Lodge. We had a fruitful deliberation on the party’s present challenges and its future.
The meeting was well attended. As part of the decisions taken to chart a way forward, the meeting set up a seven-man committee charged with preparing for a rancour-free NEC meeting scheduled for May 27th and the forthcoming national convention.
The committee is headed by my humble self, and I will have the pleasure of working with my brothers – HE Dauda Lawal, HE Caleb Muftwang, and HE Peter Mba, governors of Zamfara, Plateau and Enugu States respectively. Other members are Sen. Seriake Dickson, Sen. Ibrahim Dankwambo, and former governor of Abia State, HE, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu.
We hope to do our best in delivering on the assignment given to us.”
