The National Reconciliatory Committee set up by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has pledged to restore equity and address other challenges which had led to divisions within the party.
The committee chairman, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, made the pledge on Wednesday in Ibadan at the end of the three-day reconciliation meeting with aggrieved party faithful in the six South-West States.
Oyinlola, who was a former governor of Osun, noted that the meeting with aggrieved party members in the South-West zone was seamless.
“This is because a similar reconciliation meeting was held recently, courtesy of Gov. Seyi Makinde.
“Not long ago, I led the same reconciliation committee which went round the South-West. As at then, we were able to identify the issues that were militating against our unity and success,” he said.
The committee chairman noted that the challenges facing the party in the South-West border on human interest, party members jostling for positions, or wanting one thing or the other.
He assured all party faithful that the committee would do its best to restore equity into the party so as to bring unity, asserting that “where equity is not in place there will be disunity”.
Oyinlola commended Gov. Seyi Makinde and the PDP family in Oyo State for providing the conducive atmosphere for the committee to hold its meeting.
In his remarks, the Oyo State deputy governor, Mr Bayo Lawal, urged the committee not to be biased but be fair to all parties.
Lawal, who noted that the committee was set up at the right time, urged it to ensure its recommendations at the end of the reconciliation meetings across the zones were implemented by the party.
