The new Peoples Democratic Party, (New PDP), has pulled out of the much awaited October 7 reconciliation meeting citing a clash with the Muslim Hajj as the reason for the withdrawal.
According to OSUN DEFENDERS, a statement issued in Abuja yesterday, by the New PDP spokesperson, Chukwuemeka Eze, said, “Our National Chairman, Alhaji Baraje, and most of our other key members, including most of the G7 Governors and the five other governors that have indicated interest to join us by next week as well as members of the National Assembly, former governors and business moguls are billed to perform the Hajj, which is already in operation.
“The Baraje-led PDP wishes to reassure its teeming supporters and Nigerians in general of its commitment towards bringing Interconback the glorious days of both the PDP and Nigeria.
“We thank Nigerians for their understanding and support while appealing for continued prayers for the restoration of peace as there can be no progress in an atmosphere of chaos. The fact remains that we are not only committed to restore peace to our party but resolute about it.
“We enjoin our teeming supporters to be steadfast in their support for our struggle to enthrone genuine democracy devoid of abuse of the rule of law. On our part, we as leaders are committed to ensuring that our current struggle does not end as an exercise in futility but would achieve the set objectives of restoring our party to the path of honour and greatness.
“In this regard also, the party’s NWC billed for October 5 is hereby called off until our National Chairman comes back from the Hajji.”
However, the other faction of the PDP said the party is moving ahead with reconciliation agenda and would not be derailed by any individual.
