Sheath Your Sword, PDP BoT Chairman Tells Atiku, Wike

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees Chairman, Walid Jibrin, has advised the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State to immediately reconcile their differences.

In a statement on Thursday, Jibrin advised Atiku and Wike alongside their camps to close ranks and sheath their sword in the interest of the party.

He also urged camps of both politicians to remain calm and never create confusion about the state of the party, adding that they should allow efforts to resolve the party’s internal crisis to materialise.

The BoT chairman noted that it was time both camps see the internal crisis as a “misunderstanding” and not a “problem”.

He, however, advised the camps of both politicians to give strong support to the present reconciliation committee set up to resolve all issues in the party.

The statement read, “I wish to call on all members of PDP and all Nigerians to remain calm and never create bad blood and confusion on the state of our party. All efforts are on the ground to reconcile between wike, the party, and the presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

“What is happening now should never be categorised as a problem but misunderstanding within the party. In this period leading to the 2023 elections, we should concentrate on how to win all positions to be contested and seriously adhere to the provision of the party constitution.

“My strong advice is for us to give strong support to the present Reconciliation committee set up to resolve all issues.

“Thereafter BoT the highest advisory organ of the party will give more encouragement leading to greater success of PDP.”
