The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has disclosed that the party will not give up on the possibility of reconciling the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and the four other PDP governors in his camp with the party.

In an interactive session with newsmen in Abuja on Friday, the party spokesperson Debo Ologunagba, said reconciliation moves were still ongoing with a view to winning back the five aggrieved governors.

He noted that reconciliation is a work in progress and not a 100 meter race, Ologunagba said something positive can still happen within 24 hours.

Ologunagba said: “There are multiple channels of communication in our constitution. So it is ongoing. We are very hopeful, because we have a robust internal differences resolution mechanism.

“We can’t give up on hope because this party is PDP, not an individual party. So we don’t give commands, we don’t give instructions. We negotiate, we discuss and that is ongoing.  As a party, we are very confident that Governor Wike and other governors or anybody; other members of our party, who have issues are reconciled. Of course, what is important and I think that you have to emphasize that irrespective of whether divide we have right now, or misunderstanding or differences, were all related to one point and that’s critical. The urgency now is the need for us to rescue our country from the rudderless APC.”

The five governors have distanced themselves from the PDP presidential campaign rallies which was flagged off in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on October 10 and Kaduna on October 17.

As of yesterday, there was no indication that the five governors will attend the PDP presidential rally scheduled to hold in Benin City, Edo State on Saturday (today).
