The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has assured its supporters that the lingering crisis in the party will become a thing of the past as the party prepares to take over power. According to the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, every issue about Wike would be resolved soon, denying that the tiff between him and the presidential candidate is responsible for the delay in constituting the presidential campaign organization.
He said: “Reconciliation is not a hundred-meter dash. It’s an ongoing process. We are making progress; we are sure and confident in the progress we are making. And to that extent, every aspect of the levels of the organs of the party involved…I know that at the end of the day and very soon, we will be ready for the campaign.
“What is more important for every member of the party is the fact that the party is buoyed to rebuild a great Nigeria. Every stakeholder, every member of the party has keyed into that objective. “We understand the expectations of the Nigerian people and we are committed to that and we know, at the end of the day, the party, the PDP is united as one family together.”
On the perceived delay in setting up the campaign organisation, the party spokesman denied that the Atiku/ Wike feud is responsible, saying: “We are a party that believes in consultation and in doing that; we ensure that every stakeholder is carried along. And so, in constituting that, we ensure that we take that into consideration.
“In any event, every aspect of the council is actually being put together. You recall that the presidential candidate just made some appointments of spokespersons. You don’t do these in one day. It is about going methodical and ensuring that we do things in the right way.”
