Saraki Heads PDP Reconciliation Committee, Udom Leads Disciplinary Committee

The former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has been named as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Reconciliation Committee.

He is on a familiar track as in the run off to the 2019 general election, the party appointed him as the chairman of the committee that reconciled aggrieved members of the party.

It was gathered that this was part of resolutions reached at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday.

The PDP NEC had at the meeting, amongst others, resolved to set up a committee to reconcile aggrieved members.

Also, in the aftermath of the NEC meeting, there were indications last night that former deputy national secretary of the party, Emmanuel Agbo, has been penciled down to replace CID Maduabum as director general of the PDP Governors’ Forum.

Agbo, alongside five others, had indicated interest to replace Iyorchia Ayu, as national chairman of the party. However, the NEC put off deliberation on Ayu’s replacement until August.

The appointment of Agbo as DG PDP Governors Forum was part of measures to appease the North Central, which prior to yesterday’s NEC meeting had insisted it must produce the national chairman.

According to sources, ''The NEC appointed Saraki as Chairman of the Reconciliation Committee, Udom Emmanuel as Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, and PDP Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), as Chairman of the Constitution Amendment Committee."

As at press time, it is not known those that would be referred before the Udom-led disciplinary committee.

A source said that all those that committed anti party activities during the 2023 presidential election would be directed to appear before the committee.

Specifically, a member of NEC, Sani Uba said that those planning to do anti party activities in 2027 would be asked to appear before the committee.
