He said in a statement on Thursday that what is happening in the PDP should not be regarded as a problem but a simple misunderstanding as he advised that all attention should be on the effort to reconcile the feuding parties.

The BoT Chairman said: “I wish to call on all members of PDP and all Nigerians to remain calm and never create bad blood and confusion on the state of our party. All efforts are on ground to reconcile between Wike, the party and the presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

“What is happening now should never be categorised as a problem but misunderstanding within the party. At this period leading to the 2023 elections, we should concentrate on how to win all positions to be contested and seriously adhere to the provision of the party constitution.

“My strong advice is for us to give strong support to the present Reconciliation committee set up to resolve all issues. Thereafter BoT, the highest advisory organ of the party will give more encouragement leading to greater success of PDP.”
