The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has announced its plans to revisit FCT Minister Nyesom Wike in the new year targeting to mend fences and foster lasting peace within the party
The BOT chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, said this on Thursday while addressing members of the BoT during the opening of its meeting at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, he described the continued shifting by the National Working Committee in convening a NEC meeting as not only as a breach of trust but also as a potential catalyst for discord within the party.
Wabara emphasised the importance of adhering to the party’s constitution and the timelines set for such meetings.
While he underscored the necessity of the meeting for resolving internal party issues and planning for future electoral engagements, Wabara’s addresses revealed a picture of a party at a crossroads, needing to reaffirm its commitment to democratic principles and internal cohesion.
“It is with a deep sense of disappointment that I must express the Board’s dismay at the continued shifting by the NWC in convening a NEC meeting,” he stated, highlighting the critical role of the NEC as a platform for decision-making and unity within the party.
“We expect that the NWC would honour its word and convene the NEC meeting as scheduled,” Wabara remarked, urging the NWC to demonstrate leadership by ensuring that the next meeting, planned for February next year, goes ahead without further postponements.
He pointed out the economic hardships inflicted by what he described as “hard economic policies,” leading to widespread suffering among Nigerians.
“The skyrocketing cost of living, coupled with poorly implemented economic reforms, has pushed millions into deeper poverty,” he noted, calling on the PDP to offer credible alternatives and amplify the plight of the populace.
He called for a concerted effort among PDP governors to work together, emphasising that the party’s strength lies in its unity.
“We cannot afford to let personal ambitions or differences overshadow our shared vision for a better Nigeria,” he insisted.
