BREAKING: Oyinlola Panel Finally Resolves PDP NWC Crisis

Oyinlola panel has finally resolved PDP NWC crisis.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Olagunsoye Oyinlola-led Reconciliation Committee, set up to resolve the factionalisation of the National Working Committee in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, announced on Tuesday that it has completed its mission.

 

Addressing journalists after a three-hour marathon meeting with the warring parties, Oyinlola disclosed that the differences within the ranks of the NWC have been resolved, allowing the party to move forward with the task of nation-building.

The former Osun State Governor also noted that his committee would update the PDP Governors’ Forum on its findings and possible recommendations at its meeting later tonight.

 

He said, “The outcome of today’s meeting is that, to the glory of God, we have been able to resolve the differences that have been causing our party some headaches within the National Working Committee.

“We thank God that we have been able to open up ourselves and resolve to move forward as a united NWC. This is what we needed for the progress of our party, the PDP.”

 

When asked to disclose the issues deliberated and resolved at the NWC session, Oyinlola declined.

“The issues resolved are the differences that have permeated the ranks of the NWC. I cannot itemise them for you now,” he quipped.

On whether the controversial NEC meeting would be held on Thursday, as pushed by a faction loyal to Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, Oyinlola dodged the question, insisting that it wasn’t part of his mandate.

 

He said, “That (NEC) wasn’t part of our discussion. I am telling you again that it wasn’t, and I am not in a position to speak on the NEC meeting. I am the chairman of the National Reconciliation Committee.

 

“There were differences in the NWC, and that has been resolved. So my job is finished.”

 

Meanwhile, an NWC member privy to their discussion, who requested anonymity, corroborated Oyinlola’s statement.

 

Although the source also declined to go into details of what transpired, they explained that the outcome and recommendations would be tabled at the PDP Governors’ Forum for a final decision tonight.

 

“The outcome of our meeting will be sealed at the PDP Governors’ Forum tonight,” they stated.
