- Things are going as planned.
- PDP on the verge of reconciling Bukola Saraki, Atiku, Obasanjo and others back to the party.
- Embarking on a cleansing process within the party.
- Accuses APC of victimising PP members.
Senator Ahmed Makarfi who is the caretaker committee chairman of the People's Democratic Party has disclosed that the party is on the verge of reconciling ex party members such as Atiku, Bukola Saraki and Obasanjo as they make plans towards the 2019 Presidential Elections.
Whilst speaking with reporters in Kaduna, Makarfi said "We are happy they (reconciliation and disciplinary committee) have started well. We will not be reporting their progress because their progress is our strength. People will see it when they will see it.
"Just before the convention, you will recall that we inaugurated a committee for reconciliation and discipline.
"The reconciliation committee is mandated to reconcile all aggrieved members since the formation of the party, not only aggrieved members based on Makarfi-Sheriff squabbles, all aggrieved members of the PDP since the PDP was put in place.
"And also to try to bring in even those who have never been in the party before. So, their mandate is wider than the Makarfi-Sheriff political conflict." Saying that the party had learnt its lessons from the past and under the present political dispensation, the caretaker chairman added that the convention slated for December
"is part of the cleansing process to bring credible people on board for the party and also bring sanity to some states that have defied political solution." He added.
"I am happy to say that all the factional divisions in those states, from the report I have received, have been sitting together and accommodating each other to participate in the caretaker committee.
"That is the first stage of bringing all elements in the party together. I heard reports from Lagos and Kebbi, they are all doing fine. Other states are meeting over the weekend, based on the reports I have received. At the end of the day, we will be there, God willing."
