Kwara PDP sets up harmonisation committee

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has set up a harmonisation committee ahead of the 2019 general elections.

The committee, the party said became necessary following the defection of Senate President Bukola Saraki, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, federal lawmakers and members of the State House of Assembly to the PDP.

Speaking at a meeting on Friday where the committee was set up, Governor Ahmed said that the PDP is now a stronger and bigger family than the old APC and old PDP, because major stakeholders and members of both parties have come together under the PDP umbrella.

He said the committee is to adopt the party’s national template for harmonisation, stressing that the party is one big family where everybody will find accommodation and a voice.
