National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu said, yesterday, that he would reconcile all warring factions in the party, adding that PDP remains a reality.
.
He spoke, yesterday, during a short meeting with journalists at national secretariat of the party.
.
According to Mu’azu, PDP is the only party in Nigeria that was alive.
.
He added: “This is an election period and very critical; PDP is a reality, the only party with continuous life; we may have our internal crisis, it is the only detribalised party in Nigeria.
.
The lost ground will be addressed, we will reconcile all the factions in PDP.“
.
The crisis in the PDP got to a climax when the party split into two, with former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and six northern governors staging a walk- out at the Eagle Square, venue of the Special National Convention held on August 31, last year.
.
Some of those who stormed out of the convention venue were Governors Sule Lamido of Jigawa; Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara; Aliyu Babangida of Niger; Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto; Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano, and Murtala Nyako of Adamawa states respectively.
.
Following the irreconcilable nature of the problems raised, Governors Ahmed of Kwara; Wamakko of Sokoto, Kwankwaso of Kano; Nyako of Adamawa and Amaechi of Rivers later dumped the party for the opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC, leaving Sule Lamido of Jigawa and Aliyu Babangida of Niger behind.
.
Apart from the governors, 37 elected members of the House of Representatives left the party for APC, while some were still waiting to follow suit.
