The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it plans to organise South-West stakeholders to resolve the zone’s crisis ahead of its zonal congresses.

The PDP said this in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja.

Mr Ologbondiyan said the NWC had scaled up reconciliation processes in the South-West after an extensive meeting.

“Consequent upon this, the NWC further resolved that a meeting comprising the national chairman, deputy national chairman, national secretary, Sen. Bukola Saraki-led reconciliation and strategic committee, Gov. Seyi Makinde, and former Gov. Ayo Fayose, be held immediately for urgent resolution of all issues concerning the South West,” he said.
