A former Deputy National Chairman, PDP- South, Olabode George, has urged members of the party to drop their grievances and unite in the interest of the party and the nation.
.
George, who addressed newsmen in Lagos on Friday, urged them to support President Goodluck Jonathan administration and pass a vote of confidence on it.
.
The PDP leadership had continued to meet to resolve the disagreements that trailed the party's national convention held on Aug. 31 in Abuja.
.
"I am requesting that our leaders should also endorse the last mini-convention of 2013 as the best that our party has ever had in the history of our great party.
.
"We can only arrive at that progressive destination of a united and unbroken people when we are all willing to make sacrifices.
.
"My passionate appeal to everyone now is that we must not point fingers of wrongs or rights.
.
"The government at the centre belongs to us all as PDP members and as citizens of this nation," he said.
.
George said that no matter the degree of the grievances, members must strengthen the government that they voted for and not to pull it down.
.
He said that while there was nothing wrong in pointing out the errors in the party, members must not reduce themselves to "destructive brinksmanship, but focus on rectifying the identified wrongs''.
.
He urged members to focus on healing the. broken places, resolve on finding an equitable balance and maneuver toward peace and compromise as well as be committed to selflessness and sacrifice.
.
"We must be willing to yield to reason and rationality. We must eschew hate and bitterness.
.
That is the way of participatory democracy.
