(http://naija2day.com/http%3A//naija2day.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Naija2day.png/2013/01/Jonathan.jpg) (http://naija2day.com/http%3A//naija2day.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Naija2day.png/2013/01/Jonathan.jpg)President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday moved to nip in the bud the crisis besetting the National Working Committee (NWC) of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) by summoning the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Turkur and the rest members of the NWC to the Presidential Villa to resolve their differences.
A festering crack had emerged within the national leadership of the ruling party which culminated in the convening of its NWC meeting on Tuesday by 10 members of the committee.
The meeting had excluded the national chairman over his stance on the sacking of party's executive council of his home state, Adamawa and its recently conducted congresses.
Following the sacking of the council in October last year, the Adamawa state Governor, Murtala Nyako and other PDP governors appealed to the NWC to reconsider its stand but the national chairman of the party failed to yield grounds.
But the 10 members of the NWC had in last Tuesday's meeting annulled the congresses conducted in Adamawa state by the caretaker committee that had been set up by the national leadership of the party and reinstated the executive council loyal to Governor Nyako.
The action did not however go down well with the Alhaji Tukur, who described it as a betrayal of trust on the part of his colleagues in the NWC.
Consequently, the NWC was unable to have its scheduled regular meeting on Wednesday at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, notably because of the refusal of the 10 members to have anything to do with the party boss.
This was said to have prompted the intervention of the President who summoned the feuding national officers to a meeting on Wednesday.
At the end of the meeting which took place in House 7 in the Presidential Villa, Alhaji Tukur told state house correspondents that the NWC members have resolved their differences, describing the members as the "first family of the PDP." (29)
