The much anticipated inauguration of committee for the reconciliation of factional members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scheduled for Tuesday, failed to hold.
The two factions headed by Senator Ahmed Makarfi and Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, had agreed to set up a 28-man peace committee, after series of meeting between them.
Sheriff, who has been at the centre of the crisis, said at the press conference that the two factions agreed to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
“We are going to set up a 28-man committee to prepare a way forward. The committee will be inaugurated on Tuesday.
“We are compiling the list. It is true that we have reached understanding but there is no position paper from anywhere,” he said.
The PDP expanded caucus, which met about two weeks ago, also endorsed the peace move. The meeting was attended by Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, the Taraba State governor, Darius Ishyaku as well members of the Board of Trustees, the National Assembly causus and state chairmen.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, told newsmen that “The peace move has been finally endorsed and supported by members of caucus without any dissenting voice.”
